Volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, are organic chemicals that easily evaporate at room temperature. They are found in many everyday products, such as paints, cleaning supplies, and air fresheners. When these substances evaporate, they can contribute to indoor and outdoor air pollution, affecting air quality. Exposure to VOCs can lead to various health issues, including headaches, dizziness, and respiratory problems. Some VOCs can also have long-term effects on health and the environment. Reducing the use of products containing VOCs and ensuring proper ventilation can help minimize their impact.
