A member at an old makerspace needed extremely powerful custom glasses in addition to very large monitors, he had heart surgeries, diabetes, and probably other conditions I'm forgetting.

If I remember right, a teen he had an electronics related job that involved a lot of washing parts with some kind of nasty solvent with definitely an OSHA violation kind of safety.

It's unknown how many of the problems were directly caused by that, but he believed many of them were likely related.

I'm not a chemist, and I'm not a big fan of taking risks, so I just stay away from anything with chronic toxic effects if I can. There's usually very little benefit other than minor time savings anyway, outside of crazy specialists stuff.
