*What are VOCs?
One way we can avoid generating pollutants in building, renovating, and maintaining our homes is to consider the levels of volatile organic compounds in the products and materials we may be using. Volatile organic compounds are present in paints, carpets, adhesives and other products and are a detriment to indoor air quality and human health.
