the elimination of radioactive metabolites of orally administered benzene-14c , 3 mmoles kg-1 , in urine was markedly inhibited by intraperitoneal administration of phenol ( 1.2 mmol kg-1 ) , but not by pyrocatechol , resorcinol or hydroquinol ( 0.6 mmole kg-1 , respectively ) suggesting that phenol might inhibit benzene metabolism in vivo especially when its concentration exceeds that of benzene .
