Homebrew PCBs

For anyone interested in relatively 'hard' information, here's a link to
CDC's toxicological profile for acetone:
http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxprofiles/tp21.pdf


TL;DR:  It can be toxic, generally, but whether you'll experience any
effects following exposure depends on how much you use, how often you

use it, the type/route of exposure (e.g., inhalation, dermal, oral), the
environment you use it in, and your level of internal toxicity/state of
health/etc.  In short, it's no different than anything else.
