It really does not matter. The issue is the relationship of OA vapor to
other toxic chemicals. It is very toxic.
I would not use it. I toyed with the idea until I saw just how dangerous
it is.
Whoever is using it with others is exposing the helper (as well as
themselves) to potential harm and opening themselves up to a serious
lawsuit if an accident happens.
