Paints, varnishes, and wax all contain organic solvents, as do many cleaning, disinfecting, cosmetic, and hobby products. All release potentially dangerous VOC.

Traditional building materials release dangerous VOC such as Formaldehyde, Toluene, Pinene, Benzene and many others.

Results of short term exposure to VOC could result in eye, nose and throat irritation, headaches, nausea, vomiting, and asthma.
