Toluene is a common solvent found in inhalants such as paint thinners, and repeated use of toluene can lead to neurological damage, including short-term memory loss, hearing loss, and difficulty with movement and coordination. Acetone, benzene, and hexane are also solvents found in some inhalants but are not typically associated with these specific neurological symptoms.
