Dry erase markers often have a strong smell due to the presence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as xylene, toluene, or alcohol-based solvents. These compounds help the ink dry quickly and erase easily but also emit a noticeable odor. Some manufacturers now offer low-odor options that use alternative, less pungent solvents to minimize the smell.
