Correction Fluid: A Brief History and Safety Concerns

^{Correction fluid is a white liquid. The organic solvent was originally used as an ingredient in the product. This solvent is readily absorbed by the lungs via inhalation. It has been replaced by a safer alternative for painting over mistakes. A brush (which was later replaced by a foam applicator) is attached to the cap, so when the bottle is closed, the brush is immersed in the fluid. When unscrewed, the brush is covered in liquid which is then painted over the mistake. However, it is still possible to see that the product has been used, and also the original content if the paper is held up to a light.}
