So much hate for California's prop 95 in the comments, so few people noticing that the article referred to benzene and formaldehyde as meeting the thresholds. It doesn't matter what chemicals are included in prop 95, you can't deny that benzene is not a serious carcinogen.
The only part that I'm not super clear on is the dosing information--the article used dosing information in micrograms/day, whereas OSHA gives occupational limits in terms of safe atmospheric concentrations for an 8 hour work day. The question becomes: are the RFDs used consistent with standard health authorities, or are they a super-conservative California threshold.
