Benzene is a widely used industrial chemical and en-vironmental pollutant known to cause an increased inci-dence of aplastic anemia, lymphocytopenia, and leukemia in occupationally exposed workers (1, 2). Hydroquinone, a hepatic metabolite of benzene (3), concentrates in bone marrow following exposure of rats to benzene (4). Ad-ministration of hydroquinoneto mice is known to induce micronuclei in bone marrow(5, 6), inhibit erythropoiesis (7), and lower thenumber of functional B-lymphocytes removed from marrow and spleen (8). Hydroquinone also causes sister chromatid exchanges in cultured lymphocytes (9), results in DNA strand breaks (10), and inhibits the synthesis of DNA and RNA (11-13). It is likely that many if not all these effects are mediated by the hydroquinone oxidation products, 1, 4-benzosemiquinone and 1, 4-benzo-quinone, which readily bind to thiols, proteins, and nucleic acids (14-19).Oxidation of hydroquinone to 1, 4-benzosemiquinone and 1, 4-benzoquinone can occur both enzymatically and non-enzymatically. Hydroquinone autoxidizes at neutral pH to form 1, 4-benzosemiquinone which can disproportionate to 1, 4-benzoquinone (20, 21). Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) 1 also catalyzes the oxidation of hydroquinone, yielding 1, 4-benzoquinone via 1, 4-benzosemiquinone at rates much faster thanautoxidation (20, 21), and has been shown to activate hydroquinone to metabolites that bind irreversibly to cellular protein (22). Leukocyte peroxidase from either neutrophils or macrophages also activates
