These substances are contained in building materials, cigarette, cleaning products, air fresheners, glues and moth repellants.  People can be exposed to these compounds through inhaling VOC gases or skin contact with products that contain these chemicals. VOCs can induce nausea, dizziness, fatigue, headache and irritation of the respiratory system and eyes.  Long term exposure to these compounds is associated with cancer, kidney and liver problems.
