This flier was created to inform people about ways to minimize health risks associated with exposure to degreasers. Degreasers are commonly used in auto shops and other settings to remove grease and grime from engine compartments, wheels, and the exterior surfaces of vehicles. Traditional degresasers contain high levels of volatile organic chemicals, exposure to which is associated with both short-term and long-term health effects such as skin irritation and cancer. New safer cleaning products and technologies can provide safer alternatives.
