Volatile Organic Compounds(VOC)
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are organic substances that, at room temperature, exhibit a high vapor pressure. As a result of a low boiling point, many molecules sublimate or evaporate from the liquid or solid state and enter the surrounding air, creating high vapor pressure.
When exposed to sunlight, VOCs can combine with nitrogen oxides to create ground-level ozone, a dangerous air pollutant that contributes to smog, making it important from an environmental and health standpoint. Numerous volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can also directly harm health, causing headaches, respiratory irritation, and in certain situations, more serious long-term health problems or cancer. VOC emissions are frequently reduced by regulations in an effort to enhance air quality and safeguard human health.
