Now, I don't wish to start a heated thread but have been doing some reading on our old friend Glutaraldehyde (main ingredient used in liquid carbon sources). It seems to lurk in a variety of names, including the following:
glutaraldehyde
glutardialdehyde
1,3-diformylpropane
glutaral
1,5-pentanedial
1,5-pentanedione
asep
cidex
jotacide
sonacide
Found this on this site:

Now, I'm sure the readers of this site are well aware of the possible risks of using liquid carbon to both themselves and their aquatic friends (and the heated debate surrounding its use, just search the forum for glutaraldehyde if you’re unaware). But have a look at the ingredients in this horse hoof / frog treatment. (Info on what the frog is for the non equine folk here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frog_(horse))

And this is in a spray form! Wonder how many horse owners have inadvertently breathed in the mist?
Obviously I'm not trying to drop a company 'in it' as the concentrations are not stated and may well be extremely low, but it makes you think. What lurks in stuff we use everyday?!
