VOCs can be expelled by products in your home, such as building materials, flooring or furniture. They can also be found in some air fresheners and scented candles. High VOCs can lead to respiratory irritation, headaches and dizziness, among other problems.
Numerous scientific studies have learned respiratory diseases, asthma and other health problems are due to bad indoor air quality. Allergies can also be aggravated by indoor air quality problems.
