"Nearly everyone is exposed to solvents in the conduct of their normal daily activities. Consider, for example, a person who works in an aircraft factory as a metal degreaser (TCE exposure); drives to the neighborhood bar after work and has a few drinks (ethanol exposure); and a cigarette (benzene and styrene exposure); stops on the way home at a self-service filling station for gasoline (benzene, toluene, 1,3-butadiene exposure) and the dry cleaners for laundry (tetrachloroethylene exposure); and, afer dinner enjoys his hobby of model ship building that requires the use of glue (toluene exposure)." [Casarette and Doull, 2001]
