Dear all,
Sorry if this message is posted on the wrong newsgroup, but I would like to
know the answer to this question:
Is gasoline (Petroleum) toxic?
And also, is gasoline fumes carcinogenic?
Is there anywhere on the InterNet I can find information regarding matters
like this?
If anyone here know anything, I'd very much appreciated if you can give me a
pointer or two.
Thank you very much in advance.
Sincerely,
Bob
