This review details common non-halogenated, non-aromatic, non-botanical solvents, including hydrocarbon mixtures and single agents. It covers their unique toxic effects, treatment strategies, and occupational exposure limits.

Area of Science:

  • Industrial Chemistry
  • Toxicology
  • Occupational Health

Background:

  • Common industrial solvents are often not halogenated, aromatic, or botanical.
  • These solvents can be broadly classified into hydrocarbon mixtures and single agents.
  • Understanding their properties and effects is crucial for workplace safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize the effects of common industrial solvents not falling into halogenated, aromatic, or botanical categories.
  • To provide a comprehensive overview of their physiochemical properties and occupational exposure levels.
  • To outline treatment strategies for exposures to these agents.

Main Methods:

  • Categorization of solvents into hydrocarbon mixtures (Stoddard solvent, naphtha, kerosene) and single agents (n-hexane, methyl n-butyl ketone, dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, butyl mercaptans).
