A study was made of the benzene exposure of workers in the rubber coating industry where large quantities of certain naphtha solvents containing varying amounts of benzene are used. The benzene exposure of churnmen, spreaders and saturators as measured by air tests, and urinary phenol determinations ranged from low grade to excessive. In cases where the MAC was exceeded the benzene content of the solvent was more than 3%.
