Excuse me, but I (at least) was referring to the report of 10% benzene
content in gasoline in France. That's one part in TEN (for the
mathematically challenged), which is 100 million times higher
concentration than PPB. I think that would be something worth worrying
about, if true. However, I don't think it could be true, at least not in
the last 4 decades. The textbook being quoted was first published early
in the previous century. Isn't it funny how any mention of these issues
brings up a kneejerk response...
