Risk of Leukemia and Multiple Myeloma Associated With Exposure to Benzene and Other Organic Solvents: Evidence From the Italian Multicenter Case-Control Study.

The article presents a case study which examines the role of benzene exposure in causing leukemia and multiple myeloma (MM) in Italy. The study involves the assessment of patients' exposure at individual level to a range of chemicals. The authors claim that they found no association between exposure to any solvent and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). They also found elevated point estimates for the associations between medium/high benzene exposure and chronic lymphatic leukemia.
