volatile organic compounds

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are chemicals that easily become gases or vapors at room temperature. They are emitted from various sources like paints, cleaning products, fuels, and building materials. VOCs can contribute to indoor air pollution and may cause health issues such as headaches, respiratory irritation, or longer-term effects with prolonged exposure. Measuring VOC levels helps assess air quality, and reducing their presence involves proper ventilation, choosing low-VOC products, and maintaining good indoor air circulation. Understanding VOCs is important for creating healthier indoor environments and minimizing exposure to potentially harmful airborne chemicals.
