According to the MSDS (at Freestyle) Kami is 4% n-hexane.  Use it in a 
well ventilated area.  Hexane, if I'm not mistaken, is a neurotoxin.

It is in a very volatile base, so cleanup amounts to taking the mylar off the drum and letting the negatives ‘dry’ off in just a few seconds. I’m guessing it made of some sort of naptha-like solution.  I have not noticed any preservation issues with the Kami fluid, but I only have about three year’s worth of experience.
