Actually, toluene is not commonly used in permanent markers anymore as it is really toxic. It's only used in the "industrial versions" of the markers (I don't quite understand that concept, but I'll get onto it later)
Definition: Toluene is used as a solvent in nail polish. It is also used in Pharmaceuticals and gasoline as a blending agent. It is toxic and a narcotic in high concentrations.It comes from the tolu tree and is a clear, colourless liquid. It can cause eye irritation and has the potential to even affect the nervous system. High amounts can affect the kidneys and also case birth defect as well as causing fatigue and dizziness. Other names include: benzine, methyl-benzine and toluol.
