Résumé :
Mortality associated with the abuse of volatile substances (VSA) is related to many factors, including the chemical nature of the substance itself, the product containing it, the method of inhalation and the prevalence of abuse. The purpose of this report is to monitor trends rather than to provide an exhaustive commentary. The total number of deaths between 1971 and 2007 was 2 308. During 2007 there were 58 deaths, 51 for 2006 and 46 for 2005. (Editor' s abstract)
