All VOCs are reactive. VOCs range from "Known Cancer causing effects" to Mildly harmful, but VOCs are considered harmful. At the ranges presented in the video, they are immediately harmful. If you wanna go huff your resin, you deserve what's coming to you. I've talked to Resin chemists (mostly through the 2019-2020 Midwest RepRap Fests), and they agree with most of what's in that video. Go ahead and get mad about things if you feel resolve in doing so. I'll continue warning people of the dangers.
