Inhalation of petrol (gasoline) fumes has been prevalent in some Australian Indigenous communities since World War II, and has led to a continuing quest for an effective method of preventing the practice either by modifying the substance or by substituting nonharmful alternatives. This article traces the results of this search, beginning with the addition of ethyl mercaptan, then describing the substitution of aviation fuel for conventional vehicle fuel, and concluding with the staged introduction of Opal--a vehicle fuel containing low levels of aromatic hydrocarbons--throughout many communities from 2005. The article assesses the benefits and limitations of supply reduction methods.
吸入汽油烟雾在二战后在一些澳大利亚原住民社区很常见，这导致了人们一直在寻求一种有效的方法来防止这种行为，无论是通过改变物质还是用无害的替代品替代。本文追溯了这一探索的结果，从添加乙基硫醇开始，然后描述了用航空燃料替代传统汽车燃料，最后从 2005 年开始，在许多社区逐步引入了含有低水平芳烃的 Opal——一种汽车燃料。本文评估了减少供应方法的好处和局限性。
