This population-based case–control study investigated the vicinity of petrol stations as a potential source of environmental benzene exposure.
Our results, consistent with that of our previous study on the same subject and with some studies on traffic and leukaemia, support the hypothesis that
living next to a petrol station may be associated with acute childhood leukaemia.
On the basis of these findings, the role of exposure to low level benzene in childhood acute leukaemia deserves further evaluation.
