9 Coke oven contain cancer-causing polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, along with toxic gases and vapours such as benzene, hydrogen sulphide, carbon monoxide and ammonia. Workers in the coal preparation plant are exposed to coal dust, which can cause lung damage.

10 Short-term (acute) inhalation causes depression of the central nervous system, marked by drowsiness, dizziness, headache, nausea, loss of coordination, confusion and unconsciousness. Long-term exposure to benzene reduces the number of red and white blood cells and damages bone marrow. Benzene is carcinogenic.

11 Inhalation of carbon monoxide causes symptoms including headache, weakness, dizziness, nausea, fainting, increased heartbeat, irregular heartbeat, loss of consciousness and death.

12 Short-term (acute) inhalation causes severe irritation of the respiratory tract. Skin contact results in burns, blistering and, possibly, permanent scarring of the skin. Eye contact causes irritation and, possibly, corrosive injury.
