The consequences of poor indoor air quality range from mild to extremely serious. VOCs can potentially cause lasting nerve and liver damage as well as cancer. Constant contact to airborne particulates can trigger heart disease, enduring bronchitis, or COPD. Contact with carbon monoxide for prolonged periods, can cause impairment to your heart muscles, and even be the basis of neurological impairment.

Regrettably, VOCs are in many ordinary consumer products such as paints, cleaning agents, glues, varnishes, perfume, varnishes, and even computer printers. Applications of these VOCs are usually much higher in the house - up to 5 to 10 times higher than outside air as stated by the EPA. These chemical elements have a tendency to off-gas a lot of vapors even at room temperature. Most of these fumes cause short-term health concerns like headaches and nausea. In an industrial building this is often called “sick building syndrome” if a lot of the workers are impacted by these or related symptoms.
