Degreasers are chemicals used to clean metal parts. Ozone damages lungs and degrades many materials.
Organic solvents can also harm the environment because they are generally toxic and water soluble.
When solvents are released and reach water, even in very small quantities, they may render the water unfit for human consumption and uninhabitable for aquatic life. Many organic solvents are also flammable which makes them dangerous to use. Most vehicle degreasing can now be accomplished with water-based cleaners. The use of water-based cleaners can help minimize your shops regulatory burdens and waste disposal costs. Most chlorinated solvents are hazardous due to their toxicity.
