Alexander V. MoskalenkoPresident of GCE Group
Benzene is an aromatic hydrocarbon, soluble in water. It is
toxic and carcinogenic. Benzene vapour can penetrate into
the body, even through intact skin. It can cause leukaemia
and anaemia.
Nitrobenzene is a toxic organic substance, does not dissolve
in water. Used for the production of aniline and polishing
agents for metal. Absorbed through the skin and has a strong
effect on the central nervous system. Affects the metabolism,
causes liver disease, and oxidizes the haemoglobin.
