Can breathing in vapors of oil-based paints cause you brain damage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Be careful: Many organic chemicals are in some way hazardous to humans when repeatedly exposed, especially in large/concentrated amounts. Read the material safety data sheets (msds's) on anything you are using to learn the risks and follow the recommendations for protective equipment or environment. See the warning sticker on a gasoline pump for an example of the potential risks.
