Why Does Low VOC Matter?

low voc Nowadays, more products are being promoted as offering low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound), non VOC, VOC free, or properties with similar wording. First, we must discuss what “low” or “no” VOC actually means and whether it really matters. Volatile Organic Compounds, or VOCs, are organic compounds that have a high vapor pressure at normal room temperatures. The high vapor pressure of VOCs stems from having a low boiling point, which causes the molecules from the VOCs to evaporate and become released into the air in a gaseous state. Compounds with high vapor pressure and low temperatures could emanate seriously harmful toxic agents that can hurt people and our environment, and the fact that VOC’s evaporate so easily is an even more cause for concern.

People spend most of their time indoors, especially at work, at home or in public buildings. The quality of the air we breathe is already under scrutiny due to the frequent releasing of toxic agents from power plants, energy facilities, and even the vehicles we operate. Our country’s concern stems from evidence proving that our Ozone Layer is weakening, and that empirical information shows that toxicities from VOCs is one of the main culprits. Because the United States has recently increased the nation’s focus on indoor air quality, the topic of VOCs has become quite prevalent. People are spending so much of their time indoors; therefore, indoor air quality matters even more.

As stated previously, VOC is all about the migration of chemical substances into the air we breathe. One does not have to be a chemist to understand that finding methods of reducing VOCs is pivotal to improving air quality. We need to find ways to reduce the use of VOCs, especially in the workplace, so that we can preserve the health and safety of our population, animals, and all of the flourishing life on earth. The first order of business is to educate businesses, especially those involved in industry, that frequently use great quantities of VOC’s, and help them find eco friendly, green alternative methods of chemical usage.
