Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are organic chemicals that easily evaporate at room temperature. They are found in many everyday products, such as paints, cleaning supplies, and fuels. When released into the air, VOCs can contribute to air pollution and can have health effects, including headaches or respiratory issues. Some common VOCs include formaldehyde and benzene. Reducing exposure to VOCs can improve indoor air quality and overall health, making it important to select products with low or no VOC content when possible.
