What are VOC’s about, and what does it mean in regards to cleaning products?
An organic compound generally speaking, is a compounds that contains carbon and hydrogen. Some examples of organic compound are octane and butane. Organic compounds that evaporate easily are called volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In addition to contributing to ozone and smog formation, VOCs can have a direct adverse effect on human heath. Many VOCs have been classified as toxic and carcinogenic (cancer causing). Overexposure to VOCs can lead to nausea, dizziness and headaches. Long term exposure to certain VOCs have shown to cause cancer and eventually death. Our products have passed stringent tests for low VOC emissions by the GreenSeal organization and comply with the latest California Code of Regulations. Therefore, our products are safe for Humans, Animals and the aquatic life. Before using any types of cleaning products, always check the MSDS for VOC limits.
