The human CNS toxicity of inhaled m-xylene is enhanced by ethanol ingestion. This effect markedly and nonlinearly increases with ethanol dose and is attributed to the fact that both m-xylene and ethanol are metabolized by the CYP2E1 enzyme and that ethanol is preferentially metabolized, resulting in higher residual levels of m-xylene.I12 The action of ethanol on m-xylene CNS toxicity points out the need to consider ethanol consumption when establishing safe exposure levels for volatile organic compounds. 

Incinerator exhaust gases do, however, contain a variety of pollutants -not only dioxin derivatives but also other compounds such as odours, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and the reaction intermediates of dioxins [516], VOCs are a major contributor to air pollution because of their toxic and malodorous nature and their contribution to ozone and smog formation [131], They are emitted from a wide range of industrial processes and transportation activities [131,162,519-521], Some representative VOCs are methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol, acetone and toluene. 

The transfer of well-known perfume brands into cosmetic formulations will lead to the challenge of maintaining the perfume impression despite possible interactions with cosmetic care compounds. Microemulsions have proven to be very efficient in this respect. For example, a clear aftershave microemulsion formulated with non-ionic surfactants and isoeicosane is almost non-interfering with the perfume impression [45]. Because of the trend to reduce the amount of volatile organic chemicals, ethanol-free perfume micro emulsions are under further development. Non-sticky, non-fatty and ethanol-free products can be obtained through the usage of vicinal diols such as 1,2-hexanediol in microemulsion formulations [46]. 

Biofiltration can be used to remove volatile organic compounds, including odors, from waste air.295 Pseudomonas spp. can remove toluene, and Bacillus spp., ethanol. The process is suitable for use on food-processing plants, public treatment works, and others, to control odors. The cost can be quite a bit lower than that of incineration or adsorption on carbon. A biofilter with Nitrosomonas eu ropaea immobilized in calcium alginate removed 97.5% of ammonia from air.296... 

The influence of metal ion complexes with trifluoroacetylcamphorate is characterized by the following stability constants of these complexes with volatile organic compounds (the metals are indicated in parentheses) for ethanol 159 (Mn), 165 (Co) and > 200 (Ni) for dioxan 18.8 (Mn), 93 (Co) and 783 (Ni). 

Peivaporation, the separation of tw o peilectly mixed liquids (usually w here they cannot he separated by distillation, because they form an azeotropic, constant boiling mixture at a particular concentration ratio - most famously the azeotrope of ethanol and w ater), is easily achieved through a membrane, by virtue of the different diffusion rates of the tw o vapours. It is also used to treat riitse w aters that have become contaminated by VOCs (volatile organic compounds, hazardous to human health), such as solvents, degreasers and petroleum-based mixtures. In either case, 99% contaminant removal can be achieved. 

An example where a mass balance approach would yield inaccurate emissions to the atmosphere would be an industrial resin coating line. This process uses an organic carrier solvent, such as ethanol, which is volatized from the resin solids in a drying oven. The vapors (volatile organic compounds [VOCs]) are then incinerated. The ethanol can be transformed into other organic compounds in the incinerator. The total mass of applied carrier solvent (ethanol) would not be accounted for in the incinerator exhaust gas stream due to its transformation into other organic compounds.

It has been observed that volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as toluene, ethanol, etc., are selectively ionized to positively charged ions when exposed to soft x-rays and x-rays in the presence of N2, O2, etc., constituting air. A VOC separator has been designed, as shown in Figure 6.P.I.
