AB Benzene,  a  highly  flammable,  clear,  volatile  liquid  with  an  acrid,  aromatic  odor,  is  one  of  the  most  widely  used  industrial  chemicals.  It  is  a  constituent  by-product  in  gasoline,  and  it  is  used  as  an  industrial  solvent  and  as  a  chemical  intermediate  in  the  synthesis  of  a  variety  of  materials.  Benzene  can  be  found  in  dyes,  plastics,  insecticides,  and  many  other  materials  and  products.  Industries  with  the  highest  benzene  usage  include  leather  production,  electronics  manufacturing,  machinery  manufacturing  and  spray  painting.  Benzene  is  generally  not  present  in  household  products.
