  Medical and environmental evaluation in the lacquer department of a plant manufacturing baseball bats reveals that lacquer vapors from naphtha (8030306)
  
  toluene (108883), xylene (1330207), ethyl-benzene (100414), n-butyl-acetate (123864), and methyl-ethyl-ketone (78933) are responsible for reported transient episodes of mucous membrane irritation.
