The toxicity of benzene is widely known, and types of illnesses linked to it have been increasing. This article traces the historical trajectory and the findings related to the diseases, combined with the displacement of industrial activities from central countries to peripheral ones. In this process, there are correlations in prevention of benzene exposure. In Brazil, the application of regulations was analyzed to identify their impact because information on environmental contamination and diseases is very precarious. Formal legislation prevailed without records of its application. Only when workers and technicians mobilized did advances occur.
苯的毒性广为人知，与之相关的疾病种类也在不断增加。本文追溯了与这些疾病相关的历史轨迹和研究结果，并结合了工业活动从中心国家向周边国家的转移情况。在此过程中，苯暴露的预防存在相关性。在巴西，对法规的应用进行了分析，以确定其影响，因为关于环境污染和疾病的信息非常匮乏。正式立法虽已出台，但缺乏其应用记录。只有当工人和技术人员行动起来时，才取得了进展。
