What is VOC? Many of the hazardous chemicals in modern houses are members of large family called volatile organic compounds or VOCs. These include formaldehyde and related chemicals, benzene, xylenes and toluene, alcohols, mineral spirits and fuels such as propane and butane. They are irritants and can cause severe symptoms if they absorbed through the skin or the fumes inhaled. The most harmful is benzene, which can cause bone marrow depression or leukemia and depression of the central nervous system. Toluene can produce headaches, nausea, drowsiness and depression of the central nervous system. Xylenes can cause dizziness, coughing, nausea, fatigue and, in extreme cases, kidney and liver damage. Volatile organic compounds are commonly found in building materials and furnishings, house paints, heating fuels, solvents, waxes, polishes and many other household products.
