Potential Dangers/Hazards of TVOCs

There’s no question that TVOCs are dangerous to humans. And certainly, inhaling these compounds can be harmful and even dangerous to personal health. The overall effects of TVOCs depend on their chemical makeup, the amount of exposure, and the existing ventilation. Also, every individual has a different exposure reaction with different effects.

• There may be irritation to the eyes, nose, or throat
• For some, there could be potential loss of coordination
• Headaches and nausea are not uncommon for some

With extreme levels of TVOCs, the dangers and hazards can be more extreme. In fact, severe buildups of TVOCs in a commercial environment have been associated with “sick building syndrome,” which affects almost everyone exposed.

Some Common Sources of TVOCs

TVOC emissions can stem from various sources – everything from building materials to commercial cleaning products to furniture that is “off-gassing.” In most indoor environments, these compounds are diluted when passing through ventilation systems, so they have little noticeable smell. However, many have a highly noticeable odour. Formaldehyde is one of the more common TVOCs and quite common in building materials like plywood and particleboard. Vehicle exhaust and fuel exhaust also produce TVOCs. In a home or office environment, a whole host of products give off TVOCs – like furniture fabrics, cleaning disinfectants, flooring applications, and even simple soaps.
