Abstract

The intentional inhalation of toluene-containing glues, gas (lighter) fuels, nitrites and less commonly petrol (gasoline) produces features similar to alcohol inebriation, and death can occur from arrhythmias. Chronic abuse may produce severe neurological, renal, gastrointestinal and metabolic sequelae.
