What are VOCs and why can’t I detect them in my building or home?

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are chemicals like formaldehyde, benzene, and toluene that can accumulate indoors at concentrations 10 times higher than outdoors. Most dangerous VOCs are completely odorless, making professional testing the only way to know if your indoor air is safe. Common sources include new furniture, carpeting, paint, cleaning products, and office equipment that continuously release chemicals through off-gassing. Unlike other air quality issues you might smell, VOCs silently contaminate indoor environments for months or years after installation. Professional testing uses advanced analytical equipment to identify specific compounds and concentration levels that pose health risks.

"I was in the process of leasing a new commercial space, my broker had recommended air quality testing would be a good idea during the inspection period. I had a short time frame to work with. AirMD was able to get out to the property the same day and deliver results 3 days after. "
