Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are gases emitted into the air from products or manufacturing activities. Some of them cause cancer, some of them are harmful in their own right. Also, some volatile organic compounds can react with other gases and form other air pollutants after they remain in the air.
Volatile organic compounds can be found in indoor and outdoor air. Some of these sources continue to produce VOCs when they are stored or during transport. Some of the known volatile organic compounds include benzene, formaldehyde and toluene.
Volatile organic hazardous air pollutants (VOHAP) means any listed carbon-containing compound, excluding metallic carbides and carbonates. This definition includes volatile organic compounds listed as hazardous air pollutants and exempt compounds listed as hazardous air pollutants.
Emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) originating from oil and natural gas production pose a risk to the future of the earth. VOC and HAP emissions from upstream production operations are significant because of their potential impact on regional ozone levels and nearby populations.
In recent years, awareness of the dangers of toxic air pollutants has increased. Many legal regulations have been published to control toxic substances in the air. Hazardous air pollutants cause cancer, developmental effects, reproductive disorders, neurological disorders, inherited gene mutations or serious health effects in humans.
Inhaling volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can irritate the eyes, nose and throat, cause difficulty breathing and nausea, and damage the central nervous system and other organs.
Hazardous air pollutants, also known as toxic air pollutants, cause cancer or other serious health effects or adverse environmental effects, such as reproductive effects or birth defects. Examples of major toxic air pollutants are: benzene found in gasoline, perchlorethylene emitted from some dry cleaning plants, and methylene chloride used by a number of industries as a solvent and paint remover.
Our organization also provides VOHAP, volatile organic hazardous air pollutants testing services with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it provides for businesses in various sectors.
