VOCs
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are a group of organic chemicals that easily become gases or vapors at room temperature due to their high vapor pressure. In the context of HVAC systems, VOCs can be released indoors from various sources like paints, cleaning products, building materials, and furnishings. These compounds can affect indoor air quality and may cause health issues, such as eye, nose, or throat irritation, headaches, or dizziness, particularly in poorly ventilated spaces. Proper ventilation and air filtration in HVAC systems help in reducing VOCs for a healthier indoor environment.
