Author(s): 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
