Fuel Oil
Fuel Oils are liquid mixtures that come from unprocessed petroleum. Fuel Oils are made differently depending on what they are used for. For example some fuel oils can be used for engines, lamps, heaters, furnaces, and stoves. Coming in contact with fuel oils is fairly easy depending on the type of fuel oil. You can be exposed to some fuel oils if you drink and swim in water that has been contaminated with fuel oils, touching soil that had also been contaminated, using fuel oil at work, and breathing air that has been contaminated. There are many ways fuel oils can effect your health. Some can cause nausea, increase blood pressure, poor coordination, and even death.
