What are Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

    Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) include a variety of chemicals, some of which may have short- and long-term adverse health effects. Concentrations of many VOCs are consistently higher indoors, sometimes up to 10 times higher, than outdoor concentrations. 

    These VOCs are emitted by common household items including paints and lacquers, paint strippers, cleaning supplies, pesticides, building materials, furnishings, office equipment, and more. These items often contain organic chemicals that are released into the air you breathe when used or stored improperly.
