volatile organic compounds (organic compounds, compounds (materials), ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: A class of toxic organic chemicals that readily evaporate as hydrocarbon gases. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are widely used as fuels, in the production of plastics, as solvents and paint thinners. Their emissions contribute to air pollution directly or in chemical reactions which form secondary pollutants such as ozone.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Dutch ..... Een groep giftige organische chemicaliën die gemakkelijk verdampen tot koolwaterstofgassen. Vluchtige organische stoffen of VOS worden veel gebruikt als brandstof, voor de productie van plastic, als oplosmiddel en als verfverdunner. De uitstoot van VOS draagt bij aan de luchtvervuiling, direct of door chemische reacties waardoor secundaire vervuilers zoals ozon ontstaan. |
