Gasoline, cleaning fluids, paint thinners -- all readily available -- are just a few of the household and commercial products that young people use to get high. Approximately 15% of hight school students have used inhalants, and abuse has been increasing among young girls. Inhalants can damage the heart, kidneys, and liver, and can cause stupor, brain damage, and "sudden sniffing death." What are these volatile hydrocarbons? How are they used? Why do young people seek out this dangerous "high"? Do young inhalant abusers outgrow this behavior or do they graduate to other drugs? This timely book educates young readers on the potential hazards of a rapidly growing form of drug abuse. Contents: * Introduction * The History of Solvents * The Chemistry and Pharmacology of Solvents * Exposure to the Solvents * The Behavioral Effects of Inhalants * The Health Effects of Solvent Abuse * The Epidemiology of Solvent Abuse * Inhalants and the Law
