Brian,
Inhibisol is a cleaner based on trichloroethane. Don't know anything
about it's health effects (doubtful they are good) but it has a nasty habit
of degrading plastic.

Good reasons for some of those at least.
Benzene, the "pure" compound is reportedly highly carcinogenic, freon stuffs
up the Ozone UV-absorbing layer in the atmosphere, Methyl-Ethyl-ketone is
also highly carcinogenic or some other bad thing - I'm sure a Google check
would reveal what.
I have no idea what the problem could be with ether - except maybe fire
danger, and inhibisol I had never heard of before.
