What are VOC's volatile organic compounds?

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are chemicals that can easily evaporate into the air at room temperature. They are commonly found in many New Jersey households and industrial products, such as paints, solvents, cleaners, and adhesives. Some VOCs can have harmful effects on human health and the environment, including contributing to air pollution and causing respiratory problems. It is important to minimize exposure to VOCs by using products with lower VOC content or by ensuring proper ventilation when using products that contain VOCs.

Why should I test my NJ home for VOC's?

Testing your home for VOCs can help you identify which products and materials in your home are releasing these chemicals, and can help you take steps to reduce your exposure. There are a variety of different methods for testing for VOCs, ranging from DIY test kits to professional air quality testing services.

If you are concerned about the potential health effects of VOCs, it may be worth considering testing your home to see if these chemicals are present in the air you breathe. By identifying potential sources of VOCs in your home, you can take steps to reduce your exposure and protect your health.
