			Turpentine is produced by the distillation of resin obtained from trees, mainly [[Pinus\|pine trees]]. The resin is collected by making incisions into the tree bark, a process known as "[[tapping]]". The resin is then distilled to separate the volatile oil, known as turpentine, from the non-volatile rosin.

			=== Collection ===

			[[File:Chipping_a_turpentine_tree.jpg\|thumb\|Chipping a turpentine tree to collect resin.]]

			The collection of resin involves a method called "chipping," where the bark of the tree is cut to allow the resin to flow. A cup and gutter system is often used to collect the resin as it drips from the tree.

			=== Distillation ===

			[[File:PSM_V48_D518_Turpentine_still_at_Manlyn_North_Carolina.jpg\|thumb\|Turpentine still in Manlyn, North Carolina.]]

			The collected resin is then distilled in a still. The process involves heating the resin to evaporate the turpentine, which is then condensed and collected. The remaining solid material is known as rosin.

	== Uses ==		== Uses ==
	Turpentine has a wide range of uses. It is commonly used as a solvent in paints and varnishes, and as a raw material in the chemical industry. It is also used in the production of adhesives, synthetic resins, and pharmaceuticals.

	== ~~Health effects~~ ==		Turpentine is used as a solvent in the production of [[varnish]] and [[paint]], and as a raw material in the chemical industry for the synthesis of other compounds. It is also used in traditional medicine and as a cleaning agent.
	~~Exposure~~ to ~~turpentine can cause~~ a ~~range~~ of ~~health effects~~, including ~~skin~~ and ~~eye irritation, respiratory problems,~~ and ~~neurological~~ effects~~. It is considered a hazardous substance and should be handled with care~~.
			== History ==

			The use of turpentine dates back to ancient times, where it was used for medicinal purposes and as a solvent. The industry grew significantly in the 19th century, particularly in the southeastern United States, where large pine forests provided an abundant source of resin.

			== Environmental Impact ==

			The production of turpentine has environmental impacts, including deforestation and habitat destruction. Sustainable practices and regulations have been implemented to mitigate these effects.
