Are there safer alternatives to BTEX compounds?

Terry Tamminen (Author & Environmental Policy Advisor) gives expert video advice on: Why do gas stations have three different grades of gas?; Does higher-octane gasoline make my car run more efficiently?; What are "benzene", "toluene", "ethylbenzene" and "xylene" (BTEX compounds)? and more...

While there are safer alternatives to petroleum in our transportation system, I'm not sure there's a lot of ways of reducing the volatile organic compounds, or BTEX compounds, from gasoline. The best way to do that would be to replace at least part, or all, of gasoline with organic fuels like ethanol, biodiesel, and ultimately phase out petroleum products altogether.
