Abstract

Glue sniffing, often called Solvent Abuse, is the misuse of chemicals such as petrol, thinners and spray paints. Vapors inhaled have the potential to be neurotoxic, impacting both the central and peripheral neurological systems. Addiction to alcohol can exacerbate symptoms and make follow up difficult.AIM: The present work aims to provide base information on the effects of Glue Sniffing; this encompasses the frequency, context and pattern of sniffing by the community of street children as well as examination of the associated health problems.
