PINE OIL

Pine oil is derived from steam distillation of wood from pine trees. It is a common agent used in many household disinfectants and deodorants and has also been used as a pure substance for its disinfectant properties.

In general, pine oil in its concentrated form is a skin irritant and may cause allergic reactions. If swallowed, pine oil may be sucked into the lungs (aspirated), possibly resulting in chemical pneumonia.
