How come IsoPropyl alcohol is considered a VOC but not Ethyl alchohol?
Isopropanol has a high vapor pressure therefore it tends to evaporate easily. Ethanol also evaporates easily and is considered a Volatile Organic Compound. Infact adding ethanol to a petrol mix raises the overall level of hydrocarbon emissions (VOCs) from the gasoline. Also ethanol is not environmentally safe to fuel cars because the burning of ethanol produces Carbon dioxide, this is involved in global warming. See below for more info: http://www.carbohydrateeconomy.org/libra… NB: ethanol is present in very small amounts in alcoholic beveridges, and the ethanol that is used is ethanol BEE.
