[b]Numbers Regarding VOCs in Australia[/b]

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are chemical substances that evaporate at room temperature. Across the globe, VOCs are the leading cause of ground-level air pollution or smog. Exposure to certain levels of VOCs may cause eye, nose and throat irritations, dizziness, visual disorders and even cancer in extreme cases. Common sources of VOCs are gasoline stations, printer inks, paints, household chemicals and construction products.

In Australia, newly built homes had the highest VOC levels. According to a study featured in Building and Environment 2017, indoor levels of VOCs were several times higher than outdoor levels.

Another study from Building and Environment 2018 investigated VOC levels in different locations within a large university in Australia. The result of 41 VOCs across 20 locations in the campus found the indoor concentrations are 97% higher than the outdoors. Traces of VOCs were even found in buildings that are supposed to be 'green.' The results of the study are consistent with findings from studies conducted in other countries that suggest high concentrations of VOCs on campus grounds.
