Learn MoreVolatile organic compounds (VOCs) are major contributors to air pollution. Based on the emission characteristics of 99 VOCs that daily measured at 10 am in winter from 15 December to 17 January and in summer from 21 July to 25 August in Beijing, the environmental impact and health risk of VOC were assessed.
Learn MoreEvery time you hit the button, then, you are raising your carbon footprint, albeit ever so slightly. Modern-day, CFC-free aerosol sprays also emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that contribute
Learn MoreSome VOCs react slowly and changes in their emissions have limited effects on local or regional ozone pollution episodes. Those VOCs, determined to have low photochemical reactivity by approved test methods, may be excluded as VOC for regulatory purposes. These determinations are made by regulation and are commonly referred to as VOC Exemptions.
