POLLUTANTS
Volatile Organic Compunds (VOCs)
VOCs are emitted from diverse sources, including automobiles, chemical manufacturing
facilities, drycleaners, paint shops and other commercial and residential sources that
use solvent and paint. VOC emissions form O3 through complex chemical reactions with
oxides of nitrogen (NOx) in the presence of sunlight. They are not particles but molecules
of gas that can be collected either with carbon bed or destroyed with thermal oxidation.
