Learning About
Volatile Organic Compounds
Compounds like formaldehyde and butadiene are considered VOCs (volatile organic compounds). Using low VOC-tested products has benefits for individuals, the environment, and for human health.
VOCs are chemicals that are released into the air as gases and can have negative effects on our respiratory and neurological systems. VOCs can aggravate allergies, asthma, and other respiratory conditions. By using low-VOC products, you are reducing your exposure to these harmful chemicals, which can help assist in health and wellbeing.
Low VOC products are better for the environment. VOCs are not only harmful to human health but also contribute to air pollution and climate change. They react with other pollutants in the air and can cause smog to form and ground-level ozone, which can harm plants and animals and reduce visibility. By using low-VOC products, individuals are helping to reduce their impact on the environment.
Low VOC products are often more durable and long-lasting. Many low-VOC products are specifically designed to be more eco-friendly and have fewer harmful chemical ingredients, making them more long-lasting than traditional products, and saving money in the long run.
Low VOC products can help to improve indoor air quality. As many people spend most of their time indoors, and the air inside our homes and buildings can be up to five times more polluted than the air outside. By using low VOC products, individuals can help to improve the air quality inside their homes and workplaces, which can lead to better health and well-being for everyone.
Products like Luxsol’s Poly100 being VOC tested is a simple but effective way to improve indoor air quality and the environment. It is a small step that individuals can take to make a big difference.
