Benzene's wide-ranging negative health effects have been known for a long time. It's far from clear why this article reporting the results of a mouse study with rather unremarkable findings is on the front page.
- ramraj07 3y agoBecause someone posted it at the right time and not everyone knows benzene toxicity has an endocrine component.
- kens 3y agoHN makes much more sense if you think of it as a collection of chat rooms with titles. People are upvoting the topic and discussing benzene, mostly unconnected to the actual article. (Serious question: did anyone who upvoted the post read the article first?)
- thinkcontext 3y agoMy guess is because there was a study reported on last week that talked about benzene emissions from gas stoves.
- reddisbad 3y agoI thought it was related to a discussion on HN last week about an article that discussed the unreported and untracked levels of benzene in hand sanitiser, after regulations were eased during Covid.
