Several VOCs are recognized as carcinogens by organizations like the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). These include benzene, formaldehyde, and 1,3-butadiene. Benzene, a well-known industrial chemical, is linked to leukemia and other blood disorders. Formaldehyde is commonly used in building materials and has been associated with nasopharyngeal cancer. Regular monitoring and regulation of these substances are crucial to minimize exposure and reduce cancer risk.
