What Does VOA Stand For?
VOA stands for Volatile Organic Aromatic Compounds
Volatile Organic Aromatic Compounds (VOA) are a class of organic chemicals that have high vapor pressures at room temperature. They are characterized by their aromatic structure, which typically includes a benzene ring. VOA are commonly found in industrial solvents, paints, and fuels, and they can evaporate easily into the atmosphere. These compounds are of concern due to their potential health effects, including respiratory issues and long-term environmental impact, making their monitoring and regulation important in air quality management and public health.
