Q: What/why is that "carbon-tet" the "operational scent" in Katje's closet
re what:
Carbon tetrachloride is a clear, colorless, nonflammable liquid
which is heavier than water. It is used as a fire extinguisher, a
solvent, a starting material to make many organic compounds, as an
insecticide, and for cleaning clothes.
(sounds like nasty stuff: http://mail.odsnet.com/TRIFacts/157.html )
- Doug - moth balls smell of napthalene don't they?
