The identification and quantification of both commercial (paints, coatings and fossil fuels) and naturally occurring VOCs has become an essential part of analytical chemistry. Volatile organic ...

Breath analysis has emerged as a promising non‐invasive method for the early detection and monitoring of cancer. This approach capitalises on the fact that volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are ...

Plant volatile organic compounds are elusive and influential chemicals that are an essential part of how plants react with their environment and that also affect Earth's climate globally. A new review ...

VOCs, or volatile organic compounds, are compounds that contain carbon atoms and that, at room temperature, easily evaporate. Too small to see and virtually omnipresent both indoors and out, they can ...

Emitted as gases from certain solids or liquids, volatile organic compounds include a variety of chemicals, and many are associated with adverse health effects so detecting VOCs simply, quickly, and ...

A recent article explained the role of Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) in the analytics laboratory. The current article focuses on reviewing the technology used for preparing volatile ...

Currently, there is no standard set for VOCs, but studies have found that levels of several organics average 2 to 5 times higher indoors than outdoors. If something smells, there's a good chance it's ...

Recent research is uncovering the link between exposure to semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) and changes in the gut microbiome. Scientists are particularly interested in how these products ...

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) enter the air from gasoline, pesticides, tobacco smoke, and thousands of other products and processes. They can increase the risk of airway problems and other health ...

Age, gender, hypertension, and alcohol consumption may influence the association. (HealthDay News) — High exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is independently and positively associated with ...
