Content: VOCs are also found in most consumer products such as cigarettes, dry cleaning products, cleansers, building furnishes, adhesives, and more. Commonly, VOCs enter a person’s body when one comes into contact with their products, or when someone inhales materials containing them, such as paints and cigarettes. Breathing in gases containing these chemicals can exacerbate sinusitis and asthma. When inhaled, the VOCs are taken into the lungs, and then absorbed into the blood stream, which transports them to various parts of the body. This can lead to dizziness and headaches, or total loss of consciousness when used in a poorly ventilated room. Learn More About The EnviroKlenz Air System
Health effects to painters
Painters, or people involved in the manufacturing of various kinds of paints, become the major victims of VOC exposure. The risks increase as one continues to work in the paint industry. A number of studies have found out that people engaged in paint and coating manufacturing plants have an increased possibility of developing cancers of the larynx, liver, lungs, bladder, skin, bowel, and esophagus. Statistics indicate that there is an increased probability of contracting bladder cancer and lung cancer among painters; and acute leukemia and lung cancer among varnish and paint plant workers.
