In 1986, the National Institute for Public Health and
Environment RIVM did study of PX-10, a product used in the Dutch army to clean
weapons. The product contains benzene, a
carcinogenic chemical. RIVM concluded
that the risk to the soldiers of contracting leukemia from use of PX-10 was
minimal. Professor Jan Tytgat, an expert on the subject
who teaches toxicology at Leuwen Catholic University in Belgium, says that this
study should be redone, as the RIVM focused too much on statistics instead of
reviewing individual cases.
