I worked for a company making printing ink and printing solvents. The paste ink that most people think of isn't so bad. It's the liquid solvent based stuff that gets printed on foil wine labels and plastic bread bags that will kill me. For 3 years I worked in a small room with zero ventilation breathing in EA, MEK and other solvents that I can't remember the names of. I don't want to think about what it's done to me.Pretty fucked you ever had to deal with that... VOCs are bad juju - I worked in a lab once copping dichloromethane (solvent) fumes for only about 8 months ended up with liver damage (thankfully it came good...).
