I was exposed to Goof Off (INHALATION) which has 10-30% Xylene, Accetone 60-100% and Ethylbenzene 4%. For three weeks now I have had breathing difficulties, light headiness and pulminary enbelisms that caused a pulminary infarction (death to lung tissue). I did have pre-existing lung conditions, Asthma and COPD.
The exposure was in the workplace when a contractor was stripping tile cement off of stairs outside my office. Although I have found mutible literture that states that Xylene if used in confined space can cause pulminary edema, most Doctors including my primary care and pulminoligist rejected the exposure as a cause for the PE's. There was one doctor who cited a potential relationship with the exposure and the develpement of the embelisms. It seems when you mention a workplace exposure the Doctors become very evasive, which is sad.
Too all, please be careful when using this product.
