Useful:

• Description: A naturally occurring organic compound, turpentine is secreted from pine trees and is soluble in alcohol and ether but not water.Oil of turpentine is often called spirits of turpentine, or in the paint trade, turpentine. In medicine the word turpentine is reserved for the oleoresin which upon distillation yields oil of turpentine and rosin. Oil of turpentine is used principally as a solvent for paints and varnishes, because it mixes readily with the various substances used and also because it evaporates quickly,causing the paint or varnish to dry.It is also used in making such things as sealing wax and shoe polish. Very pure grades of turpentine, the oleoresin, are used medicinally.
• Uses: Turpentine is a mixture of substances called terpenes, primarily pinene. Gum turpentine is extracted from pine pitch; wood turpentine, from wood chips. It has had greater home than industrial use as a solvent. It is irritating and anesthetic and is one of the few solvents that causes allergic contact dermatitis. The incidence of sensitization varies with the type of pine, being generally higher with European than American pines. Owing to the frequency of allergic dermatitis, the availability of turpentine is now extremely limited. One recent study suggested that occupational paternal exposure to turpentine was associated with neuroblastoma in offspring.
