I think as enlightened people we should know what exactly we are dealing with when working with chemicals that are in or around our firearms and would like to compile a working list. All information as been taken from WWW.Siri.Org
If you have something that you know is in any type of chemical (I.E. Lead Azide in primers) put the name on here and we can figure out the health effects that we are exposing ourselves to.
In Primers
Lead Azide- http://www2.hazard.com/msds/f2/bws/bwswm.html
Nitrocellulose/Powder Related
Nitrocellulose- http://www2.hazard.com/msds/f2/bdm/bdmvk.html
Solvents and Cleaners
Benzene (Common in Brake Clean) http://www2.hazard.com/msds/mf/amoco/files/11697000.html
Toluene (Also common in Brake Clean)

Hoppes 9 Solvent
http://www.copquest.com/knowledgebase/MSDS_Hoppes_No_9_Solvent.pdf
This list could go on for pages but these are the quick ones that came to mind as I thought about this. It is our own duty to take care of our health and many of the compounds we deal with are more hazardous than one would think!
