Any valve oil with petrolium distillates will have harmful fumes. All of those you listed contain petroleum distillates. Synthetic lubricants may not have this problem. Call manufacturers and ask for MSDS sheets. I have contacted Hetman about this and they were very informative (actually Musikwerks). Other synthetics, like Binak, are marketed to contain no carcinogens, though they do not work well with other lubricants.
