The correct answer is option 1, benzene. Benzene is a chemical that is commonly used in various art and craft materials such as paint, glue, and varnishes. However, prolonged exposure to benzene can have serious health effects. One of the main concerns is that it can cause anemia, a condition where the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen to the tissues. Additionally, benzene exposure has been linked to the development of leukemia, a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow. It is important to handle art and craft materials containing benzene with caution and ensure proper ventilation in workspaces to minimize the risk of exposure to this harmful chemical.
