  3. Formaldehyde - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formaldehyde

    [67] [68] At concentrations above 0.1 ppm in air, formaldehyde can irritate the eyes and mucous membranes. [69] Formaldehyde inhaled at this concentration may cause headaches, a burning sensation in the throat, and difficulty breathing, and can trigger or aggravate asthma symptoms. [70] [71] The CDC considers formaldehyde as a systemic poison.

  4. Volatile organic compound - Wikipedia

    In retail spaces, formaldehyde concentrations ranged from 8.0 to 19.4 µg m −3 compared to 14.2 to 45.0 µg m −3 in storage spaces. [90] Occupational exposure to VOCs also depends on the task. One study found that workers were exposed to peak total VOC concentrations when they were removing the plastic film off of new products. [ 90 ]

  5. Ballistol - Wikipedia

  8. High pressure injection injury - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_pressure_injection_injury

    The most common causes are accidents with grease guns, paint sprayers, and pressure washers, but working on diesel and gasoline engine fuel injection systems as well as pinhole leaks in pressurized hydraulic lines can also cause this injury. Additionally, there is at least one known case of deliberate self-injection with a grease gun. [2]

  9. Dimethoxymethane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimethoxymethane

    It can be manufactured by oxidation of methanol or by the reaction of formaldehyde with methanol. In aqueous acid, it is hydrolyzed back to formaldehyde and methanol.. Due to the anomeric effect, dimethoxymethane has a preference toward the gauche conformation with respect to each of the C–O bonds, instead of the anti conformation.
