    At high levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or chemicals that become gas at room temperature, you may feel dizzy, nauseated, tired, and uncoordinated. Your ears, nose, and throat may become irritated, and you may have a skin reaction. A study of young children suggests that high levels of VOCs in the home may be linked to asthma.
