What Does NMVOC Stand For?

NMVOC stands for Nonmethane Volatile Organic Compound

NMVOC, or Nonmethane Volatile Organic Compound, refers to a subset of volatile organic compounds that do not contain methane. These compounds are significant in the context of air quality and environmental health, as they can contribute to the formation of ground-level ozone and smog. NMVOCs are emitted from various sources, including industrial processes, vehicle emissions, and the use of solvents and consumer products. Monitoring and regulating NMVOC emissions is essential for improving air quality and mitigating environmental impacts.
