Volatile solvents are liquids that vaporize at room temperature.
Examples include paint thinners and removers, gasoline, glues, correction fluids, dry-cleaning fluids, degreasers and felt-tip markers. Because these products can be inexpensive, familiar and readily available, their danger may be underestimated. Their intoxicating chemical vapors place them within the inhalant category, alongside aerosols, gases and nitrites, although the products and chemicals involved are not all the same.
