Benzene

Benzene (C6H6) is an aromatic hydrocarbon and one of the main components of crude oil. At room temperature, it appears as a stable, colorless, and volatile liquid that emits a characteristic sweet and pleasant odor, detectable by the human nose even at low concentrations of around 5 to 10 ppm.

To mitigate risks associated with benzene exposure, it is recommended to use an air purifier and an air quality monitor to assess the particles present in your environment.
