A member of NIOSH's 1975 Benzene Task Force and long-time plaintiff expert, Infante has written essentially an editorial comment about IARC's determination that there is only limited evidence for benzene causing blood cancers other than AML (or ANLL or whatever it's called this week). It's published online first in the American Journal of Industrial Medicine as "The IARC October 2009 Evaluation of Benzene Carcinogenicity was Incomplete and Needs to be Reconsidered."

Infante was on plaintiff's team in the case that resulted in the biggest check ever written to a single plaintiff in a benzene case - Mason v. Texaco.
