Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are chemical compounds that have a high vapor pressure and easily evaporate into the air at room temperature. These compounds are commonly found in a wide range of products and materials, including paints, cleaning agents, fuels, and building materials. VOCs can have harmful effects on human health and the environment, including contributing to air pollution, smog formation, and indoor air quality issues. Research in this area focuses on understanding the sources, emissions, and health effects of VOCs, as well as developing strategies to reduce their impact on human health and the environment. This research is important for addressing public health concerns, improving air quality, and developing more sustainable products and materials.
