A meta-analysis of 22 studies found no evidence of a link between benzene and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) even at the highest levels of benzene exposures. Sliced and diced three different ways the data all revealed a summary relative risk estimate of almost exactly one every single time.

The study is titled "Benzene Exposure and Non-Hodkin Lymphoma: A Meta-Analysis of Epidemiologic Studies" and will be published in February's Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine.
