Aerosols produce intoxicating chemical vapors and may include familiar products such as spray paints, deodorant sprays, hair sprays, cooking sprays and fabric protectors.
Easy access does not make them harmless. The chemicals in aerosol sprays can be extremely toxic, and use can cause dangerous effects involving heart rhythm or breathing. Fatal effects can occur even after one use. If someone has trouble breathing, collapses or becomes unresponsive, seek emergency help immediately.
