According to the environmental studies done by the EPA, exposure to Benzene can cause leukemia, bone marrow cancer, and blood disorders. These conditions are extremely threatening and often fatal. People can be exposed to this element through inhalation of contaminated air or skin contact with polluted water or soil.

In succession to this report, The Procter & Gamble Company running its internal mechanisms assessed that some of its products primarily  aerosol dry conditioner spray products and aerosol dry shampoo spray also contain some levels of Benzene which were regarded as “ unexpected levels” by the company itself. The company further explained that the presence of Benzene was not as a primary ingredient but as an ingredient for the propellant of the spray cans to work.
