Volatile Organic Compounds

2014
Detection and quantification of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are basic and necessary requirements for many applications, including environmental monitoring, occupational safety, and healthcare. Many toxic and/or carcinogenic VOCs are used as solvents and base raw materials in chemical process industries.

Microbial Volatile Organic Compounds

Critical Reviews in Toxicology, 2009
Microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOCs) are a variety of compounds formed in the metabolism of fungi and bacteria. Of more than 200 compounds identified as MVOCs in laboratory experiments, none can be regarded as exclusively of microbial origin or as specific for certain microbial species. Thus, the recognition of microbially contaminated areas by

Nonvolatile, semivolatile, or volatile: Redefining volatile for volatile organic compounds

Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association, 2014
Although widely used in air quality regulatory frameworks, the term "volatile organic compound" (VOC) is poorly defined. Numerous standardized tests are currently used in regulations to determine VOC content (and thus volatility), but in many cases the tests do not agree with each other, nor do they always accurately represent actual evaporation rates ...
