Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-000884
Products may contain volatile organic compounds (VOC). When these products are used, the VOCs may escape to the atmosphere and react to form smog. Smog and other atmospheric pollutants have been shown to cause irritation of the eyes, nose, throat, lungs, and to cause asthma attacks. Many state and local authorities have restrictions on the use of VOCs.
