Caring for people who sniff petrol


Caring for people who sniff petrol or other volatile substances: a quick reference guide for health workers is a summary of the NHMRC’s consensus-based clinical practice guideline for the management of volatile substance use in Australia.

This quick reference guide contains information about how to care for people who deliberately become intoxicated by inhaling vapours from solvents, gases or aerosols, which may include petrol, paint stripper and other products used in building and plumbing, glue, nail polish remover, fuel gas, lighter fluid, spray paint and other spray cans.
