13. Nickel casues lung and nasopharynx cancer

14. Phenyl Beta Naphtylamine (PBNA) used in rubber antioxidant and lubricants cause bladder cancer.

15. Platinum from ore processing leads respiratory problems.

16. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) in plastic causes aplastic anemia.

17. Prednisone causes cushing's syndrome.

18. Talc from silicate mixing powder causes pnumoconiosis.

19. Toluene Diisocyanante (TDI) from Urethane foam causes leukemia.

It can take 30 years or longer for some Benzene related diseases to develop. Before 1978, high workplace concentrations were common. Children breathe more, drink more and eat more for body weight than adults. Children therefore place more Benzene into their small bodies per pound than do adults. More toxic metabolites (the chemicals found when the body breaks down Benzene) occur proportionally at lower doses than higher doses. (Henderson and Rogers, at Lovelace Inhalation-Toxicology Laboratory) Highest exposures occur in the petroleum industry: oilfields, refineries, pipelines, service stations, etc. Rubber workers have a very high incidence of AML. Tire builders washed tires with Benzene. Vinyl chloride occurs in high concentrations in rubber compounds. Vinyl chloride causes brain cancers, liver cancers (angiosarcoma) and AML. Other workers in the plastics industry experience more exposure to Benzene that leads to death. Environmental Health Perspectives, Dec. 1996, reported pilofilm workers had "a significant occurance of acute myelocytic or acute monocytic Leukemia (AML, AMLL) diseases. According to the study, AML results when workers breathe air with 1.0 parts per million of Benzene. This is dose dependent-the more Benzene, the more the Leukemia. Plywood and furniture workers have unexpected high exposure levels. The glues and adhesives contain some Benzene and also Phenols. The body breaks Benzene down into Phenols in the liver (Mary Smith, School of Public Health, University of California, Berkley). The Phenols then act on the bone marrow to produce Leukemias and related blood disorders. The bone marrow makes blood cells, so a chemical that acts on it affects the blood.
