Abstract
Benzene and its measurement continues to be important in the field of industrial hygiene. This two-part article reviews the history of occupational and environmental sampling and analysis of benzene from the early 1900s to the present. Part I provides an overview and details of the methods used in the past; history of the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists' threshold limit values for benzene; and reviews portable, grab, and integrated sampling methods as well as the various analytical methods. It is important to review and understand the past in order to predict future trends.
