Abstract Summary of this report based on literature surveys: dose-effect relations (synergic effects, odours, carcinogens, extrapolation models); alkanes; benzene and other aromatic hydrocarbons; phenyl alkenes (styrene, etc.); terpenes; cyclohexanes; alkenes; alcohols; ketones; aldehydes; esters; halogenated hydrocarbons. In total, 80 organic compounds are discussed from the points of view of biological effects, toxicity (acute and subacute), genetic and carcinogenic effects. Each chapter is followed by a table summarising toxicological data.
