Benzene is listed as a known carcinogen on the 11th Report on Carcinogens published by the US Department of Health and Human Services. (Note that the 11th is just the most recent; benzene was known to be a carcinogen when the very first one came out in 1980.)

∙ 15y agoDid you mean the molecule benzil, or the ion benzyl, or benzene? Benzil is not recognized as being carcinogenic.

Benzene, if that is what you meant, appears to be carcinogenic in Man.
