Thank you, Jean, for your response, and for the url you have provided.
My concern of Benzene arrises from someone trying to construct a
gasoline pump station right next to a primary school. Since I know that
one of the ingredient of gasoline is Benzene, I think I may have to find
out more about Benzene (and all other chemicals that made up gasoline)
and present them to the school's PTA and all local interest groups.
I am not a chemical major, and even if I have a copy of MSDS for
Benzene, I wouldn't know how to intepret it. That is my problem.
The biggest problem I have so far is to elicit help from local people in
understanding the danger of a gasoline pump station right besides the
school, and any help I can get from anyone here will be very much
appreciated.
I do not understand the rationale of how the local authorities can
approve the construction of a gasoline pump station right next to a
school, that is what I am trying to find out, but in the meantime, if
there is anyone who have more info on Benzene, and other chemical
compounds that exists in gasoline, and able to explain to me, in plain
English, what the MSDS on Benzene and the other chemical compounds, is
all about, I am all ears.
Thanks for reading, and thanks again for anything you and/or others can
do to help.
Sincerely,
Lisa
