enzene is a naturally occurring aromatic hydrocarbon produced by volcanic activity and forest fires, and found in plants and animals. Industrially, it is mainly derived from coal tar and petroleum. Benzene is a colorless liquid with a gasoline-like odor, known for its toxicity and carcinogenicity. It is widely used in producing polymers like polystyrene, as well as chemicals, plastics, detergents, and pesticides.
