Not really and both are as dangerous and both should be avoided. As a matter of fact xylene began to be used in the mid 1950s to substitute chemicals like toluene, until it was found that both were equally dangerous. Toluene is present in many mounting media.

Is there a significant difference between using xylene and toluene when

Thank you,
James
