VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds)

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are a group of carbon-based chemicals that easily evaporate at room temperature into the air. They are emitted from products like paints, cleaning supplies, fuels, and building materials. While some VOCs are harmless in small amounts, others can cause health problems such as headaches, respiratory issues, or long-term effects with prolonged exposure. VOCs also contribute to air pollution and the formation of smog. Proper ventilation, choosing low-VOC products, and minimizing use of chemical-laden items can help reduce indoor VOC levels and protect health.
