Xylene and Toluene are used in the formulation of plastics, coatings, composites, and paints. However, Toluene is designated as a Hazardous Air Pollutant (HAP), and Xylene is designated as both a HAP and an emitter of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC). HAPs and VOCs are hazardous to human health and the environment and regulators are increasingly restricting their emission.
