What Are Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and Their Effects?
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are a group of chemicals that easily become vapors or gases. They are emitted from products such as paints, cleaning supplies, and building materials. Long-term exposure to certain VOCs, like formaldehyde, has been linked to an increased risk of cancer. Using low-VOC products and ensuring proper ventilation can help mitigate these risks.
