Chlorinated Hydrocarbons
Carbon Tetrachloride
Carbon Tetrachloride is used to dissolve waxes and fats and to remove spots from paper and from textiles. Although it is not flammable, it is a highly dangerous material, capable of causing serious liver and kidney damage even when the painter inhales only small amounts. Heavier exposure over a prolonged period of time can be fatal. It should not be used in the studio. [p. 42]
