What are VOC's volatile organic compounds?

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are chemicals that can easily evaporate into the air at room temperature. They are commonly found in many New Jersey households and industrial products, such as paints, solvents, cleaners, and adhesives. Some VOCs can have harmful effects on human health and the environment, including contributing to air pollution and causing respiratory problems. It is important to minimize exposure to VOCs by using products with lower VOC content or by ensuring proper ventilation when using products that contain VOCs.


Why should I test my NJ home for VOC's?

Testing your home for VOCs can help you identify which products and materials in your home are releasing these chemicals, and can help you take steps to reduce your exposure. There are a variety of different methods for testing for VOCs, ranging from DIY test kits to professional air quality testing services.


If you are concerned about the potential health effects of VOCs, it may be worth considering testing your home to see if these chemicals are present in the air you breathe. By identifying potential sources of VOCs in your home, you can take steps to reduce your exposure and protect your health.


When should I test for voc’s?

One situation where testing for VOCs is recommended is when you are planning to renovate or paint your home or office. Many building materials used in NJ, such as paints, adhesives, and carpets, can emit VOCs, which can cause health problems such as headaches, dizziness, and respiratory issues. Testing for VOCs before and after the renovation can help you identify potential sources of VOCs and ensure that your indoor air quality is safe.


In general, if you are concerned about your indoor air quality or suspect that there may be sources of VOCs in your home or office, it is a good idea to test for VOCs. A professional indoor air quality testing service can help you identify any potential issues and provide recommendations for how to address them.

How do you test for voc's?

One common method of testing for VOCs is to use a PID (Photoionization Detector). This device measures the concentration of VOCs in the air by detecting the ionization of molecules in the sample.


Another option is a passive sampler, which collects air samples over a period of time and is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.


If you suspect that your New Jersey home or workplace has high levels of VOCs, it is important to take action to reduce exposure.

How are voc's removed from my home?

One effective way to remove VOCs from your home is to increase ventilation. Opening windows and using fans to circulate air can help to increase the amount of fresh air in your home, which can dilute the concentration of VOCs. Additionally, using air purifiers and filters can help to trap and remove VOCs from the air.


Another way to reduce VOCs in your NJ home is to choose low-VOC products. Look for household products that are labeled as "low VOC" or "no VOC." These products are formulated with fewer harmful chemicals, which can help to reduce your exposure to VOCs.


Finally, it's important to properly store and dispose of household products that contain VOCs. Keep these products in a well-ventilated area, and make sure to seal them tightly when not in use. When it's time to dispose of these products, follow the instructions on the label, or contact your local New Jersey waste disposal facility for guidance.
