Nowadays, the chemical meaning of the term "aromatic" is no longer correlated with the
compound's smell. The term "aromatic" now applies to a family of compounds whose members
are structurally related in that they contain an aromatic system. The chemical behavior of
aromatic compounds is considerably different from that of aliphatic compounds.
The effects of exposure to benzene over a longer period of time are, among others, bone-marrow
atrophy and leukemia. This is commonly the case even if the concentration of benzene is
relatively small. Great precautions must therefore be taken when working with benzene.
