title: [Assessment of exposure to organic solvents. Reading the label or the legally compulsory instructions for use are not enough].
abstract: A case history is quoted to illustrate the description of exposure to organic solvents and to illustrate the following points: 1) It is not possible to assess the degree of exposure qualitatively by registering of legally correctly written labels and instructions for use. 2) Quantitatively correct prescriptions of the products do not reflect the quantitative conditions of exposure and 3) Thermodynamic calculations which also consider how the individual components influence the rates of vaporization of one another can describe the conditions of exposure more precisely.
