Grip on VOCs: Sustainable Business in 2025 with Altac Industry
What are Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)?
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are organic chemicals that evaporate easily at room temperature. They are released when using products such as paint, cleaning agents, cosmetics, and building materials. Additionally, they can be formed during the incomplete combustion of organic substances (RIVM).
Health consequences
Exposure to VOCs can lead to health complaints such as irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, headaches, fatigue, and dizziness. Long-term exposure can have more serious effects, including damage to the nervous system and an increased risk of cancer (RIVM).
How are you exposed?
Inside homes, schools, or offices, the concentration of VOCs is often higher than outdoors due to the use of various household products and building materials. Cigarette smoke can also significantly increase the amount of VOCs in indoor spaces (RIVM).
