Answer
Ethylacetate is esther of ethanol (spirit, alcohol) and ethanoic acid (winegar acid). It has a banana smell and is used as a solvent. As a solvent it is pretty harmless to the environment and to people too. Intoxication with the fumes and dizziness is still possible. It is thought to be a weaker solvent than toluene in some cases, but in some cases a more valuable one.
