Whitener products, such as correction fluid and markers, contain a combination of solvents, resins, and pigments. These have been used for centuries in a range of industrial and consumer products, including paints, coatings and adhesives. These products fall under the category of aromatic compounds. Whitener addiction is a specific form of inhalant abuse that has become increasingly prevalent among adolescents in recent years. This is due to the presence of solvents (such as hazardous volatile chemicals i.e., like toluene, xylene, ethyl acetate and methyl ethyl ketone), resins, and opacifying pigment (titanium dioxide). These substances can lead to addiction and health issues, and resulting in unpredictable situations. As a pharmacologist, I interested in knowing what are the chemicals playing a key role in addiction, the mechanism of action and the intention to know what materializes in our body. After understanding thoroughly, I as a health care professional decided to give the capable information to the society of public through this review paper followed by keep an eagle eye on [children, students, Orphans and especially female orphans since unhidden victims (unlawful sex and rape incidents) are there in the society] and protect them from the expected and un-expected addiction of whitener.
