Probably cause his area of expertise is developing the best way to make kilotons of shit, not what happens when you put milligrams of shit into the body of a specific species.

It's just one of life's great mysteries.

Benzene oxidases and produces a compound that interacts with DNA.

tl;dr: being flat helps these compounds get in between DNA base pairs easier and leads to mutations.

Oxidated compounds of benzene (and other aromatics) produce these things called free radicals (I think that's what they're called)
They easily pass through cell membranes and interact with the process of reading DNA or some shit like that.
Also, I'm a chem eng student. Suck it.

They strongly interact with DNA and interfere with transduction too.

Every homolitic reaction produces free radicals Einstein. Guy on top of you answered it correctly.
Also, do you recommend chemE?
