Light aromatic molecules such as Benzene, Toluene, Ethyl Benzene, Xylene, etc. are present in many industrial processes, in particular those involving petro-sourced raw materials.
Their great toxicity for humans and the environment make them particularly monitored and controlled molecules.
The acronym BTEX ( Benzene-Toluene-Ethylbenzene-Xylene ) defines this family of aromatic molecules:
- Benzene [71-43-2]
