What are VOC’s? VOC’s are Volatile Organic Compounds, carbon-based chemicals that easily evaporate at room temperature. Different VOC’s have different health effects, ranging from highly toxic, to less dangerous. Even breathing low levels of VOC’s for long periods of time may increase one’s risk of health problems. Those of us with breathing issues such as asthma may be particularly at risk with VOC emissions. Typically, wall coatings take 1-3 days to dry, releasing VOC’s. With a large percentage of new and renovated buildings being rendered, this presents a potential hazard for young children, and those most at risk. Architectural Surface Coatings, such as paints and surface applied coatings, make up 6% of all VOC emissions in Australia. *Source: soe.environment.gov.au.
