HEALTH HAZARDS OF SOME VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS AND A CORRELATION BETWEEN BENZENE AND TOLUENEAK. DASH AND R.N. BARIKAbstract Anthropogenic Organic Compounds (AOCs), which include the Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), have adverse effect on the environment, that is ultimately hazardous to human health. Volatile Organic Compounds such as Benzene, Toluene, Xylene, Cumene, Mesitylene and Durene (BTXCMD) are called Arenes, the aliphatic derivatives of benzene. Increase in population, rapid industrialization and fast urbanization impact a lot on the air quality in the atmosphere by emitting above unwanted Volatile Organic Compounds that leads to air pollution followed by ozone layer depletion and deterioration of fresh oxygen quality. Systematic correlation coefficient (r ) has been calculated among the parameters Benzene, Toluene and Xylene (that are considered harmful pollutants in ambient air) for Nagpur city in India, and regression equation has been formulated by considering the strongest correlation, i.e. r~O.9, through significant linear relationship that helps in rapid prediction of one variable with high accuracy by taking another as an independent variable.
