What is VOC?
Volatile Organic Compounds or VOC's as they are commonly known as are a large group of carbon-based chemicals that easily evaporate at room temperature. While most people can smell high levels of some VOCs, other VOCs have no odor and can be very harmful. The gas used in your home to cook with was originally odorless until a few people either blew themselves up or died from gas poisoning. This is the reason that the Gas in your home and camping gas bottles are now added with Ethyl Mercaptan which give off a smell to let you know that there is a gas line open or leak.
