IT IS USED TO STERILIZE SURGICAL EQUIPMENT FOR GODS SAKE, are you sure it's illegal for general sale, or is just illegal for use in your industry? It is a VOC so if you work in interior paint or something where all VOC's are getting banned then i can see it being illegal in your application.
I mean really it's negative side effects are dry skin, irritated eyes, and diziness, last i checked every petroleum based solvent has at least that for symptoms if not more
