Has he been tested for allergies? My daughter had a problem with the odor from the cleaning fluid used to clean artists' paint brushes.

Or it could be associated with the "darkness". Have you tried putting him in a completely dark room without the chemicals? You could then leave the darkroom door open and expose him to the chemicals only and see what happens.

I hate to ask this, but he isn't using any drugs in the darkroom, right?

Hope you find something to help him. Sandy
