Benzene Safety is a common component in the Oil & Gas industry. Benzene is a naturally occurring chemical. It was first discovered by an English scientist in 1825 in illuminating gas. In 1845 another scientist/chemist was able to isolate benzene from coal tar. At first benzene was obtained entirely from tar, but that method has since been replaced by petroleum-based processes. Benzene has many uses. More than 50% of benzene is converted into ethylbenzene then to styrene, then to polystyrene.
