There has been considerable concern over the levels of Toluene and Benzene
used in Unleaded Petrol here in the UK, because both are considered as
powerful carcinogens. My wife is a development chemist for a major
lubricants manufacturer, and serious restrictions are placed on the use of
these in the workplace. I am very surprised that this kind of stuff is
available over the counter....
