Follow on Google News | VOC Hazards in the Home and Workplace Identified by IAQ Test KitIAQ Index™ provides easy to use test kits to help identify volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in homes, offices and schools.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has determined that concentrations of VOCs are much higher indoors compared to outdoors (up to 10 times higher). VOCs are emitted from thousands of products such as building maintenance and cleaning products, cosmetics, paints, adhesives, sealants, caulks, carpets, furniture, panels, vinyl floor and wall coverings, composite wood products, drywall and drywall products, concrete deck leveling compounds, furniture finishing products, and insulation materials. Other sources include office equipment such as copiers and printers, correction fluid, carbonless paper, permanent markers, photographic solutions, and graphics and craft materials such as glues and adhesives. “Historically, most of our understanding of the health effects associated with VOCs comes from the study of individual VOC exposures at relatively high concentrations,” To learn more about testing for volatile organic compounds, please visit IAQ Index at http://www.IAQIndex.com, email info@IAQIndex.com or call (888) 259-3883. # # # About IAQ Index IAQ Index was developed by a Certified Industrial Hygienist with decades of experience dealing with indoor air quality issues. IAQ Index was developed as a health-based, easy-to-understand, air quality index that is calculated from data generated for various parameters commonly measured during IAQ surveys. The approach is similar to the EPA’s Air Quality Index that has been used historically to communicate the risks posed by common pollutants in the ambient air. End
