Air contamination caused by volatile organic compounds (VOCs) (06.02.2006)

VOCs are harmful to ecosystem, human health and atmosphere.
Many VOCs, like benzene and tetrachloroethylene, have been proved to be a potent carcinogen , some VOCs are highly toxic and mutagenic. Large numbers of VOCs undergo complex photochemical reactions giving rise to highly toxic secondary pollutants, such as tropospheric ozone, which are injurious to human health and vegetation.
Pollution by VOCs should be addressed by policy makers.
Sources of VOCs emissions, technologies to monitor and reduce these emissions and possible policy measures are discussed in this conference.
