VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds)

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are a group of chemicals emitted as gases from certain solids or liquids. They are found in many common products like paints, cleaning supplies, and fuels. VOCs can contribute to indoor air pollution and may cause health issues such as headaches, eye irritation, or respiratory problems with prolonged exposure. They can also react with other substances in the air to form smog. While some VOCs are harmless in small amounts, reducing their presence indoors enhances air quality and overall health. Proper ventilation and choosing low-VOC products are effective ways to minimize exposure.
