In production, it mainly enters the human body through the respiratory tract in the form of steam. It is mainly harmful to human nervous system and hematopoietic system. When exposed to high concentration of benzene, it is mainly manifested as anesthesia, accompanied by symptoms of drunkenness such as headache, dizziness, stumbling, nausea and vomiting, which is called "benzene poisoning".
