Abstract |
A case is reported of an accidental death following exposure to a commercial organic solvent used as paint remover and containing benzene, methanol and acetone. The case illustrates the need for strong cautionary warnings on the labels of products of the type involved. More specific directions for adequate exchange of air should be given, and the maximum permissible time of exposure should be indicated. |
