Petrol
- extremely flammable, forms explosive mixtures with air readily
- nasty in your eyes, on your skin (especially in those sensitive areas)
- don't want to breath in too much
- until recently actually contained a heavy metal poison (Lead)
- until recently contained a confirmed carcinogen (benzene)
- contains CNS toxins (Xylene and Toluene)

Amounts in use, IPA about 125 ml, Petrol usually over 40 litres...

Cheers

Maybe I should switch to selling petrol. Gov safety regs now force we lab rats to have to read and signed off on MSDSs for up to 100 substances a year. Sniffing petrol might be easier......
