An elderly female patient complaining of eye irritation and swelling, skin irritation, cardiovascular irregularities and neuralgia, provided plant material for analysis which was taken from an indoor plant located in her immediate household environment. A series of potentially toxic volatile organic compounds identified by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (EPA Method 8260) were extracted from the plant specimen. The volatile compounds identified include Methyl Acetate, Allyl Alcohol and 2-Methyl-Propenal, and their concentrations in the plant material are estimated.
