Arsenic (rat poison), Butane (lighter fluid), Ammonia (toliet cleaner), Methane (sewer gas), Ethanol (alcohol), Cadmium (used in batteries), Nicotine (insecticide), Napthalene (mothballs), Hexamine (barbecue lighter), Stearic Acid (candle wax), Nitrosamine (engine degreaser), Polonium-210 (radioactive substance), Acetone (nail polish remover), Hydrogen Cyanide (gas chamber poison), Methanol (rocket fluid), DDT (used to kill bugs), Carbon Monoxide (car exhaust), Acetic Acid (vinegar), Toluene (Industrial solvent), Geranic Acid (fragrance), Methoprene (pesticide), and Formaldehyde (preserve dead people).
