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 5, Spanish, - inhalaci%C3%B3n%20de%20solventes
