Printing business near my home. i have been smelling paint fumes in the air in front garden. worried about benzene solvent used in printing inks? are there long term health implications by small accumulation of breathing it in for months? like cancer?

I doubt that health hazard can happen because the printing shop has to meet environment agency guidelines in order to operate.
