What is what level of voc is dangerous?

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are chemicals that easily evaporate at room temperature and can be found in a variety of household products such as cleaning supplies, paints, and air fresheners. High levels of VOCs in indoor air can be harmful to human health.

The level of VOCs that is considered dangerous can vary depending on the specific compound and the duration of exposure. Generally, VOC concentrations above 500 parts per million (ppm) are considered to be hazardous to human health. Short-term exposure to high levels of VOCs can cause irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, headaches, dizziness, and nausea. Long-term exposure to VOCs has been linked to respiratory issues, liver and kidney damage, and even cancer.

It is important to minimize exposure to VOCs by using products with low VOC levels, properly ventilating indoor spaces, and storing chemicals in sealed containers. If you suspect that you have high levels of VOCs in your home or workplace, it is recommended to consult with a professional to assess the situation and determine the appropriate steps to reduce exposure.
