VOC Testing Reinforces Confidence in Safety

Furniture and building materials may emit various kinds of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) that have an impact on indoor air quality and may, as a result, affect human health. Examples of common health disorders related to VOCs include headaches, abnormal tiredness, malaise, irritation of the mucous membranes in the nose and throat, eye irritation, and skin problems. As a consequence of such health risks, many countries have established mandatory or voluntary rating systems to control the emission of VOCs, formaldehyde and other hazardous substances in construction and furnishing materials.
