| What are VOCs and what produces VOCs? |
What are the health
effects of VOC exposure? |
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are chemicals that
evaporate easily at room temperature.
The term “organic” indicates that the compounds contain carbon.
VOC exposures are often associated with an odor while other times there
is no odor. Both can be harmful.
There are thousands of different VOCs produced and used in our daily lives.
They are off-gased by day-to-day products such as paints, varnishes,
moth balls, solvents, gasoline, newspaper, cooking, cleaning chemicals,
vinyl floors, carpets, upholstery fabrics, adhesives, cosmetics, air fresheners
fuel oil, vehicle exhaust, pressed wood furniture or environmental tobacco
smoke (Secondhand smoke) |
Most studies to date have been conducted on single
chemicals. Less is know about the health effects of combined chemical exposure.
The best health protection measure is to limit your exposure to products
and materials that contain VOCs when possible.
If you think you may be having health problems caused by VOC exposure consult
an occupational/environmental health physician who specializes in this area.
Acute symptoms of VOC exposure can be: eye irritation / watering, nose irritation,
throat irritation, headaches, nausea / vomitting, dizziness, asthma exacerbation.
Chronic symptoms are: cancer, liver damage, kidney damage, central nervous
system damage |
