VOCsisaldusega

VOCsisaldusega is an Estonian term that translates to "with VOC content" or "containing VOCs." VOCs, or Volatile Organic Compounds, are a group of carbon-containing chemicals that have a high vapor pressure at ordinary room temperature. This high vapor pressure causes large numbers of molecules to evaporate or sublimate from the liquid or solid form of the compound and enter the surrounding air, also known as "off-gassing."

Many common products contain VOCs, including paints, varnishes, cleaning supplies, adhesives, cosmetics, and building materials. In the context of products or materials, "VOCsisaldusega" indicates that the item releases these compounds into the air. This is a significant consideration for indoor air quality, as prolonged exposure to certain VOCs can lead to various health issues, such as headaches, dizziness, eye and respiratory irritation, and in some cases, more serious long-term effects.

Regulations and labeling requirements in Estonia and the European Union often address VOC content to inform consumers and encourage the use of products with lower emissions. Therefore, when encountering "VOCsisaldusega" on a product label or in a description, it signifies the presence of these potentially volatile organic compounds.
