Biofiltration of volatile organic compounds
Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2005The removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from contaminated airstreams has become a major air pollution concern. Improvement of the biofiltration process commonly used for the removal of odorous compounds has led to a better control of key parameters, enabling the application of biofiltration to be extended also to the removal of VOCs. Moreover,

Fungal volatile organic compounds
Current BiologyVolatile organic compounds (VOCs) are carbon-based, low molecular weight compounds that easily enter the gaseous state due to their low boiling point and high vapor pressure. Biogenic VOCs are those metabolites made by or associated with living systems.

Nonvolatile, semivolatile, or volatile: Redefining volatile for volatile organic compounds
Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association, 2014Although 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 ...

Catalytic combustion of volatile organic compounds
Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2004Despite the success of adsorption and thermal incineration of (C)VOC emissions, there is still a need for research on techniques which are both economically more favorable and actually destroy the pollutants rather than merely remove them for recycling elsewhere in the biosphere.

Volatile organic compounds and indoor air
Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 1994Volatile organic compounds represent one of the two major pollutant categories implicated in the sick-building syndrome. This article reviews measurement and analytic methods, presents a summary of the etiologic considerations, and presents newer, nonregulatory intervention strategies that can be used to prevent complaints resulting from this pollutant

The Respiratory Effects of Volatile Organic Compounds
International Journal of Occupational and Environmental Health, 2000Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been implicated as causative agents in asthma and building-related illness. To determine whether a mixture of VOCs could impair lung function or cause airway inflammation among subjects without bronchial hyperresponsiveness, the authors conducted a randomized, crossover-design trial of controlled human exposures ...

Lysis of cyanobacteria with volatile organic compounds
Chemosphere, 2008One of bacteria collected from Lake Sagami, Japan, Brevibacillus sp., was found to have a lytic activity of cyanobacteria, but did not produce active compounds. Instead, the co-culturing of Microcystis with the Brevibacillus sp. enhanced the production of two volatile compounds, beta-cyclocitral and 3-methyl-1-butanol, and the former had a ...

Production of Volatile Organic Compounds in PGPR
2015Bacteria affect plant growth through several mechanisms. A recently described mechanism involves the production of microbial volatile organic compounds (mVOCs), which are gaseous molecules capable of interacting with plants in the soil environment. mVOCs may promote plant growth directly, through induced resistance systemic (ISR), or indirectly through

The pamphlet explains the chemical qualities of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), sources of particulate emission, health and environmental effects, and monitoring trends. There is a brief summation about what is being done about volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The health effects on humans is noted.
