Organic<unk> s that cause CSE are characterized as volatile, blood soluble, lipophilic compounds that are typically liquids at normal temperature. These can be compounds or mixtures used to extract, dissolve, or suspend non-water-soluble materials such as fats, oils, lipids, cellulose derivatives, waxes, plastics, and polymers. These<unk> s are often used industrially in the production of paints, glues, coatings, degreasing agents, dyes, polymers, pharmaceuticals, and printing inks. Exposure to<unk> s can occur by inhalation, ingestion, or direct absorption through the skin. Of the three, inhalation is the most common form of exposure, with the<unk>  able to rapidly pass through lung membranes and then into fatty tissue or cell membranes. Once in the bloodstream, organic<unk> s easily cross the blood-brain barrier, due to their lipophilic properties. However, the sequence of effects that these<unk> s have on the brain is not yet fully understood. Some common organic<unk> s known to cause CSE include formaldehyde, acetates, and alcohols.
