What are volatile organic compounds?


(VOCs) are organic chemicals that have a high vapor pressure at ordinary room temperature.
Their high vapor pressure results from a low boiling point, which causes large numbers of molecules to evaporate or sublimate from the liquid or solid form of the compound and enter the surrounding air, a trait known as volatility. For example, formaldehyde, which evaporates from paint and releases from materials like quartz, has a boiling point of only –19 °C (–2 °F).

-Beware of (Greenwash) while the base paint may meet standards, added colorants can cause VOCs
to shoot up, and the darker the colorant the more VOCs.
