When using a solvent, what can be done to reduce toxic effects?

The choice of using a standard solvent can help reduce toxic effects because standard solvents are typically formulated to have lower toxicity levels and reduced harmful effects compared to other types of solvents. They are often designed to meet certain safety regulations and industry standards, ensuring they pose minimal risk to health when handled appropriately.

Choosing a standard solvent allows for safer usage, as these solvents are generally accompanied by guidelines for handling and exposure limits. Regulations around standard solvents also typically require thorough testing for safety and health risks, which means they are less likely to lead to adverse health effects when used in accordance with provided instructions.

While other options, such as increasing ventilation, wearing gloves and masks, or avoiding the solvent altogether, can indeed mitigate exposure to toxic substances, they do not inherently reduce the toxicity of the solvent itself. Instead, these measures are more about minimizing exposure risks when using potentially hazardous materials.
