Volatile Organic Compound

Characterization of volatile organic compound (VOC) levels.

Products manufactured with or containing volatile organic chemicals have potential safety, environmental and toxicity concerns. It is important to accurately characterize the VOC levels in these household products in accordance with federal, state and industry standards. These standards can vary widely depending on the product and application, and it is important that your testing laboratory be versed in the various testing methods and requirements for accurately characterizing volatile organic chemicals.
