hiilivetykaasuja
Hiilivetykaasuja, also known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), are organic chemicals that have a high vapor pressure at ordinary room temperature. Their high vapor pressure results from a low boiling point, which causes large numbers of molecules to evaporate or sublimate from the liquid or solid form of the compound and enter the surrounding air. This process is known as volatilization.
VOCs are numerous and varied, with estimates of over 10,000 different types. They are often found in
The term "volatile organic compound" is defined by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as
Exposure to VOCs can have short-term and long-term adverse health effects. In the short term, they can
To reduce exposure to VOCs, it's recommended to increase ventilation when using products that contain them,
