Analysing VOCs

摘要

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are released into the atmosphere in the form of gases from certain man-made and natural solids and liquids and can be-harmful to both human health and the environment. They are most commonly emitted naturally from plants but are also released from man-made products and processes such as building materials, fossil fuels during industrial use and paint and coatings. VOCs can be harmful to the environment and human health, resulting in short-term and long-term adverse health effects such as headaches, nausea, and damage to liver, kidneys and the central nervous system, and - in some cases - cancer.
