D001554 Benzene Toxic, volatile, flammable liquid hydrocarbon byproduct of coal distillation. It is used as an industrial solvent in paints, varnishes, lacquer thinners, gasoline, etc. Benzene causes central nervous system damage acutely and bone marrow damage chronically and is carcinogenic. It was formerly used as parasiticide. Benzol,Benzole,Cyclohexatriene
D014050 Toluene A widely used industrial solvent.
D014992 Xylenes A family of isomeric, colorless aromatic hydrocarbon liquids, that contain the general formula C6H4(CH3)2.
