Many household products contain Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). VOCs are organic chemicals that can vaporize at low temperatures. Long and short-term exposure to VOCs can have adverse effects on human health.
Common household products that can contain VOCs are furniture, paint and painting supplies, carpeting, and varnishes.
The Environmental Protection Agency's Web site provides an overview of VOCs, their effects on human health, and methods for reducing exposre in the article An Introduction to Indoor Air Quality.
