solvent fumes

Toxic workshop air

Solvent fumes are the vapors released by chemical solvents—liquids like paint thinner, acetone, or gasoline that dissolve other substances.

These fumes are often hazardous, causing dizziness, headaches, or damage to the nervous system with prolonged exposure.

Work in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling solvent fumes.

Deliberate inhalation for intoxication is dangerous and potentially fatal.
