Volatile organic chemical/compounds

Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-012602

Organic compounds that readily evaporate at room temperature and atmospheric pressure due to their low boiling points. These substances contain carbon and can be naturally occurring or man-made. Many volatile organic compounds are regulated due to their potential impact on air quality and human health.
