6. Perfumes
Have you ever experienced a sudden headache whenever a person wearing strong perfume passes by? That is because perfumes contain significant amounts of VOCs, which can make people feel lightheaded and headachey.
7. Cleaning products and Air Fresheners
VOCs are known to seriously affect human health and are contained in many air fresheners and household cleaning products. These frequently include endocrine imbalance, asthma, and eczema.
8. Paints
Have you ever wondered why a freshly painted wall has a strong smell that gradually fades over time? This is as a result of the VOCs included in paints. They gradually disappear over time as a result of off-gassing.
9. Markers, glue, and whiteners
Supplies for hobbies are designed to dry out fast at ambient temperature. Because of this, materials used to manufacture hobby products like markers, glue, and whiteners include VOCs that readily evaporate at room temperature, rendering them equally hazardous.
10. Candle and incense burning
The design of scented candles and incense sticks ensures that they fill the air around them with a pleasing perfume. However, they contain VOCs that, when burned, evaporate and spread throughout the space, which some people may find bothersome.
