There are numerous sources of VOCs in household products to look out for. Specifically, paints, paint strippers and other similar solvents have high levels of VOCs (Town, 2017).
While wood preservatives, aerosol sprays and cleaners or disinfectants also emit a large amount of VOCs (Town, 2017).
Even dry-cleaned clothing, building materials, printers and glue can emit harmful chemicals (Town, 2017). It is important to be wary of these compounds in household materials as they can be harmful to your body.
