Demystify:
Naphthalene? A little flammable, but it's got hemolytic anemia and IARC 2B status going for it. Is that toxic enough?

I need the collective wisdom of the group-
I'm trying to think of any chemical that is soluble in benzene and has NO significant hazardous characteristics other than toxicity (i.e.,
not flammable, corrosive, water-reactive, etc.). However, the more toxic it is, the better-
I do not want the actual chemical - just the name. I'm trying to create a hypothetical "what-if" scenario for an upcoming discussion about responding to chemical spills in a laboratory.
