Elle touche actuellement de jeunes utilisateurs et se différencie donc de l'éthérisme du début du siècle [...] sont utilisés divers produits ménagers [...] les colles [...] les dissolvants [...] les détachants et les diluants de peinture [...] les essences [...] les gaz [...] les anesthésiques volatils, l'éther et le protoxyde d'azote. 1, record 1, French, - inhalation%20de%20solvant

¿Cuáles son los efectos inmediatos de la inhalación de solventes? Las sensaciones que se perciben son semejantes a las de una borrachera: la coordinación física y el discernimiento se debilitan [y el] comportamiento puede ser violento. 1, record 1, Spanish, - inhalaci%C3%B3n%20de%20solventes

La expresión "inhalación de pegamento" es engañosa, pues lo que se inhala en busca de un efecto narcótico no es el pegamento en sí, sino disolventes específicos contenidos en ciertos pegamentos. Por lo tanto, lo más correcto es utilizar el término "inhalación de disolventes" [que] se refiere principalmente a los diluyentes para pinturas y pegamentos que contienen una alta proporción de disolventes específicos (ej.: tolueno, xileno, n-hexano). 2, record 1, Spanish, - inhalaci%C3%B3n%20de%20solventes
