What gives whiteboard markers its smell?

Question

I am doing a science project and we have a substance that smells a lot like whiteboard markers, and i was wondering what chemical gave it its smell. Thanks

Answer 1

A non-permanent marker uses an erasable ink named norma — an ink that adheres to the writing surface without binding or being absorbed by it — for temporary writing with overhead projectors, whiteboards, and the like. They may also be used by children when adults want to be able to clean up after them. The erasable ink does not contain the toxic chemical compounds xylene and/or toluene, unlike permanent markers.

I can only assume from the above that it's from the ink itself.
