Aurolac is an industrial adhesive sold in Romania, designed for use in repairing terracotta stoves, which is commonly abused as an inhalant.[1] The law HG 767/2001 applies restrictions on where and how aurolac, which it uses as a generic term for a variety of substances containing ethers, ketones, acetates, as well as methanol and toluene, can be sold.[1][2]
In 2000, a child who had abused Aurolac was photographed while naked and crying in a tram station in Bucharest's Rahova district. The image was widely published and used to define social problems in Romania. [3] The 2001 documentary Children Underground also details the effects of Aurolac abuse amongst Bucharest's homeless children.
