Lets see what I can remember out of my @ss
Benzene is an Aromatic Hydrocarbon; left over from burning petroleum and from some manufacturing (plastics?)
Basically it's a D-Napl (Dense non-aqueous phase liquid) I think it sinks in water and yeah Scott, like PCB's I dont think they are soluble in water
Nasty stuff; it's a known carcinogen (cancer causer)... some colleages that do ground water geology have studied this stuff..
Noone quote the above, I may be off on a few things...
