Individual Volatile Organic Compounds
Fine dust
- Invisible particle less than 10㎛
- Enter the lung while you breathing weaken the immune system
carbon dioxide (CO2)
- Occur when carbon and compoundscombustioncompletely or breathing of creature
- Dry air containing about 0.03%
- It’s non-toxic but as increasing amount of dissolved in blood it remain in the lung and can be dangerous where more than 18%
formaldehyde
- Use a water-soluble gas with strong pungent odor, insecticides, fungicides, synthetic material
- International Center for Research on Cancer classified as "carcinogenic substances concerned '
radon
- Colorless, odorless, tasteless gas since it releases radioactive particles which can have effect on the human body even if the amount is very small, and classified as a carcinogen.
Volatile Organic Compounds
- Organic substance commonly used in everyday life such as liquid fuel, paraffin, olefin are Volatile Organic Compounds, and building materials, cleaning solvent, paint, pesticide are major source
- It absorbed into the body through respiratory and skin ,and it causes difficult breathing, lethargy, headache, vomiting even anemia, blood diseases and disorders
- Typically, toluene, benzene, ethyl benzene, xylene, styrene, etc.
