What are VOCs?
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted as gases (commonly referred to as offgassing) from certain solids or liquids. VOCs include a variety of chemicals, some of which are known to have short-term and long-term adverse health effects. Concentrations of many VOCs are consistently higher indoors (up to ten times higher) than outdoors.
What are the sources of VOCs?
VOCs are emitted by many products. Examples include: paints and lacquers, paint strippers, carpet, flooring, plywood, particleboard, adhesives, cabinets, countertops, insulation, paneling and other building products.
What are the health effects?
Several recent studies suggest that domestic exposure to formaldehyde (a commonly occurring VOC) significantly increases the risk of asthma in young children. Key signs or symptoms associated with exposure to VOCs include nausea, vomiting, nose bleeds, eye irritation, nose and throat discomfort, headache, fatigue, dizziness, allergic skin reaction and dyspnea (shortness of breath).
What are the standards or guidelines?
No standards have been set for VOCs in non-industrial settings, but the federal government has regulated formaldehyde use and exposure. OSHA regulates formaldehyde as a carcinogen. They have adopted a Permissible Exposure Level (PEL) of 0.75 ppm, and an action level of 0.5 ppm. HUD has established a level of 0.4 ppm for mobile homes. Based upon current information, it is advisable to mitigate formaldehyde that is present at levels higher than 0.1 ppm.
What measures can I take to control VOCs?
Use products that offgas lower amounts of VOCs as listed above.
