A member asked:
What external chemicals can cause leukemia and where are they found?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Benzene products: Benzene used in petrochemical industry is one know cancer causing agent. But most cases of leukemia come out of the blue, without any obvious or known cause. It is more of an accident of nature. I doubt you will be able to lay a finger on the cause of your leukemia.
