Abstract

Odusiya Ukunitagola*

Benzene, a ubiquitous environmental pollutant and industrial chemical, has been identified as a carcinogen with a known association with lung cancer risk. This meta-analysis systematically reviews human studies investigating the relationship between benzene exposure and lung cancer risk. Through comprehensive literature search and statistical synthesis of available data, this review aims to provide a quantitative assessment of the magnitude of the association between benzene exposure and lung cancer risk across different populations and exposure levels. The findings of this meta-analysis contribute to our understanding of the carcinogenic potential of benzene and inform public health strategies aimed at reducing exposure to this hazardous substance.
