VOH or VOC? I've never seen VOH before. Is this maybe different depending on your location? :Piyrwq 03:58, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

I work in the environmental field. It is VOC. I have never seen VOH before and I read a lot of lab reports. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.32.237.114 (talk) 21:30, 4 June 2008 (UTC)


 * An editor had changed it to "volatile organic hydrocarbons" at some point. It's a term, just not a terribly common one (Google test shows 446 hits). &mdash;/M endaliv /2¢/Δ's/ 13:22, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Why not merge into BTX (chemistry)
We could merge either way, but BTX (chemistry) seems more common term. But in any case, these articles discuss very similar content. --Smokefoot (talk) 14:33, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
 * How did you determine "common"? There are 11 interwiki language article links to BTEX, but only 1 other to BTX. + m t  01:50, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Good point. Ullmann's Encyclopedia, a vast collection of articles on chemical technology, has 21 chapters that mention BTX, but only 4 chapters that mention BTEX. A second argument is that BTEX can be mentioned in the BTX article with less confusion that forcing readers to juggle both (they are not really mutually exclusive).  Finally the BTEX article was not very good.  But I dont own things here of course, so alternative views are welcome. --Smokefoot (talk) 02:11, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
