Homonym: VOC (Voice)
VOC, or volatile organic compounds, are organic chemicals that have a high vapor pressure at room temperature. They easily evaporate into the air and can be found in many products, including paints, solvents, and cleaning agents. VOCs can contribute to air pollution and may have harmful health effects when inhaled.
Exposure to VOCs can lead to various health issues, such as headaches, dizziness, and respiratory problems. To minimize exposure, it is important to use products with low VOC levels and ensure proper ventilation in indoor spaces. Reducing VOCs can improve air quality and promote better health.
