Benzene is a primary industrial chemical and a ubiquitous environmental pollutant. Benzene occurs naturally as a component of petroleum and natural gas and also as a gas emissions from volcanoes and forest fires. There are number of petroleum products that contain benzene and are used in several industrial and household applications. For example, benzene is present in gasoline. Its the maximum content in gasoline was limited in 1998 to 1% v/v.
The general population is commonly exposed to benzene via respiratory tract. The main sources are traffic exhausts and cigarette smoke. Benzene exposures to the general population have been reduced by lowering its contents in gasoline and prohibiting smoking in public places. To improve air quality in the European Union set a limit value of 5 µg/m3 for benzene in 2008. The knowledge on the metabolism of benzene is basis for investigation of biomarkers of exposure to benzene.

In maintaining health, an important place is occupied by individual determinants and individual choices. It is connected with lifestyle. The article deals with the subject of promotion of health and its essence. The aim of the work was an attempt to look again at Lalonde’s ”health fields” announced in 1974. The verification of the assumed theses in Lalonde’s concept was based on the research of 75 students of physiotherapy specialisation, i.e. the people with some well-established knowledge of health promotion. The research tool was a questionnaire consisting of 12 questions concerning the issues discussed. The results indicate that the students possess good knowledge of the studied subject matter. An important conclusion is that, according to the respondents, there is no possibility of protection against genetic determinants by maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The respondents considered diet and physical activity as an equally important element of lifestyle.
