Volatile organic compounds, or VOCs for short, are a myriad of naturally occurring and artificially manufactured chemicals found everywhere. These compounds are considered volatile because they vaporize at the earthu2019s natural temperature and release molecules into the air. Common industrial solvents like trichloroethylene (TCE), fuel oxygenate like methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), and by-products of chlorination in water treatment like chloroform, benzene, ethylene glycol, formaldehyde, methylene chloride, tetrachloroethylene, toluene, xylene, and 1,3-butadiene can be termed VOCs. <br>
