Volatile Organic Compounds

Volatile Organic Compounds is a class of organic chemicals characterized by their high vapor pressure at room temperature, leading to significant emissions as gases from certain solids or liquids, and distinguished by their participation in atmospheric photochemical reactions that contribute to air pollution, indoor environmental contamination, and the formation of secondary pollutants such as ozone and fine particulate matter.
