Several chemical agents have been implicated in the development of lymphomas. These include:
Benzene: A widely used industrial chemical, benzene exposure is associated with an increased risk of NHL, particularly among workers in industries such as petrochemicals and rubber manufacturing. Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs): These are synthetic organic chemicals that are known carcinogens. PCBs, previously used in electrical equipment and other industrial applications, have been linked to NHL. Pesticides: Certain pesticides, including organophosphates and carbamates, have been associated with a higher incidence of lymphomas, particularly in agricultural workers.
