Benzene gas

Benzene (C₆H₆) is a colourless, highly flammable liquid with a sweet, aromatic odour. It is classified as a volatile organic compound (VOC) and is widely recognised as a human carcinogen. Benzene evaporates into the air and is primarily a risk through inhalation.

Benzene is found naturally in crude oil and is a natural component of gasoline. It is also released during volcanic activity and forest fires. In industrial settings, benzene is produced during petroleum refining and chemical manufacturing processes.

Rockall Safety offers the Honeywell UltraRAE 3000+, a portable advanced VOC monitor capable of detecting benzene and other volatile organic compounds. The UltraRAE 3000+ uses photoionisation detector (PID) technology with a high-energy UV lamp to identify very low concentrations of VOCs in real time.
