French daily Liberation has published claims by an anonymous researcher from the French National Centre for Scientific Research, who tested his foul smelling Mac Pro in the lab. The researcher found that the unpleasant odor contained several chemicals, including benzene, a sweet smelling cancirogen linked to leukemia.
"Benzene can affect the bone marrow. Imagine a person working eight hours a day for two months, inhaling such vapors, sensitive people could very well develop leukemia, " said Annie Leszkowicz, expert in chemical risks with the French Agency for the safety of the environment and labor.
