How might I be exposed to ethylbenzene?
• If you live in a city or near many factories or heavily traveled highways, you may be exposed to ethylbenzene in air. • Releases of ethylbenzene into the air occur from burning oil, gas, and coal and from industries using ethylbenzene. • Ethylbenzene is not often found in drinking water. Higher levels may be found in residential drinking water wells near landfills, waste sites, or leaking underground fuel storage tanks. • Working in an industry where ethylbenzene is used or made. • Using products containing it, such as gasoline, carpet glues, varnishes, and paints.
