Health Hazards Due to Hydrocarbon Components
Crude oil can pose a wide variety of health hazards, due to different types of hydrocarbon components such as:
- benzene (a cancer-causing substance, listed by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, or ATSDR)
- methane (an asphyxiant that, in sufficient quantities, can cause suffocation)
- pentane and hexane (neurotoxins affecting the nervous system)
These are just a few examples of harmful health affects. Various resources are available for more information: documentation, your supervisor, training courses, and government agencies, to name a few.
