What is a VOC?
When shopping for flooring, you might see the acronym “VOC” a lot. VOC stands for volatile organic compound. When organic compounds from carpet, paints, cleaning supplies and varnishes enter the air in a process known as “off-gassing,” they mix with other compounds and chemicals to create VOCs. While many of these compounds aren’t hazardous on their own, the compounds can cause indoor toxicity and may lead to health problems such as asthma, memory loss and cancer. VOCs emitted by cars produce smog. Selecting products marked low-VOC may improve the health of your home.
