Latex is a very broad term that just means and emulsion of micro polymers in water.

Some latex comes from plants and at worst will cause allergic reactions. The synthetic ones have a pretty wide range of uses and chemical make ups. A lot are marketed as harmless, but a lot were invented in the past 10 years and haven't been fully studied for potential long term effects. Some are known carcinogens, allergens and "forever" chemicals.

The specific chemicals involved in this spill are butyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate, which are synthetic organic compounds that are used in latex paint.

They have emergency exits all over, they're just behind the fake walls. And since there are employees everywhere, they'll probably help you find the exit. I worry more about fires in Walmart. The employees there won't help with shit.

A lot of Philadelphians don't own cars and use bikes as their only mode of transportation. The city is also very walkable, and public transit is frequent and reliable most of the time.

Your hotel is in a very bike accessible area.
