TRICHLOROETHANE
Trichloroethane is a colorless, nonflammable liquid
with a pungent odor similar to chloroform. It is commonly
used as a solvent and cleaning agent in spot removers
and fabric cleaners, film cleaner, insecticides, paint and
varnish remover, degreaser, typewriter correction fluid,
and as an aerosol propellant. Trichloroethane is absorbed
by inhalation and ingestion. It is an irritant to the eyes
and nose and can result in central nervous depression
and liver and kidney damage if ingested.
