                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' CONSENT


The Board of Directors
SystemOne Technologies Inc.:

We consent to the incorporation by reference in the registration statements
(No. 333-86757 and No. 333-50401) on Form S-3 and registration statement (No.
333-70379) on Form S-8 of SystemOne Technologies Inc. (the "Company"), of our
report dated March 2, 2001, relating to the balance sheets of SystemOne
Technologies Inc. as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements
of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended,
which report appears in the December 31, 2000, annual report on Form 10-KSB/A
of SystemOne Technologies Inc.

Our report dated March 2, 2001, contains an explanatory paragraph that states
that the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations primarily
resulting from the significant expenses incurred in the establishment of its
national direct marketing and distribution organization and has a net capital
deficiency. The Company may also need to raise additional capital that may be
required to pay maturing issues of long-term debt and redeemable convertible
preferred stock. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to address these
matters, relating principally to a recently executed marketing and distribution
agreement with Safety-Kleen Services, Inc. are also described in note 2. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of these uncertainties.
