As part of the Third National Health and Nutrition Evaluation Survey (NHANES III), the Environmental Health Laboratory Sciences Division of the Center for Environmental Health and Injury Control, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, will be analyzing human blood samples for benzene and other volatile organic compounds. These data will give an indication of the frequency of occurrence and background levels of these compounds in the general population.
