Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) Testing
Invisible Chemicals. Real Health Risks. Trusted Testing.
Do you ever feel dizzy, nauseous, or lightheaded indoors—with no clear cause?
You might be breathing in VOCs—volatile organic compounds, chemical gases emitted by common household products, building materials, and furniture. Many VOCs are odorless, invisible, and toxic. Some can cause short-term symptoms like headaches or throat irritation, while others can lead to long-term health issues including organ damage and cancer.
Understanding Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
What are VOCs?
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are carbon-based chemicals that easily evaporate at room temperature. They can be found in many everyday items and building materials, releasing into the air even when not in use.Where do VOCs come from?
Common sources of VOCs include paints, varnishes, cleaning products, air fresheners, glues, office equipment, dry-cleaned clothing, pesticides, and new furniture or flooring. These substances can significantly impact indoor air quality.Why are VOCs a concern?
Research indicates that VOC concentrations can be 2 to 10 times higher indoors than outdoors, even in rural areas. Prolonged exposure can occur during use and even after products are stored, posing potential health risks.How can AMI help?
At AMI Environmental Testing, we provide expert testing services to identify VOC levels in your environment. Our honest results empower you to take action and ensure a healthier indoor space.
VOC Exposure
VOC-related symptoms can appear suddenly—or slowly over time. Severity depends on individual sensitivity, concentration, duration of exposure, and ventilation.
Vulnerable Groups Include:
- Children and infants
- Elderly individuals
- People with asthma or respiratory conditions
- Chemically sensitive individuals
Many people don’t even realize their symptoms are caused by indoor air contaminants until they leave the space—and feel better.
