VOCs Are Also A Concern

VOCs are Volatile Organic Compounds that are emitted by certain building materials and new carpeting, flooring, carpentry and paint. New furniture and cleaning products also give off VOCs. Exposure to VOCs may cause eye, nose and throat irritation and can lead to more serious conditions. The level of VOCs is higher after construction has been completed, but will probably dissipate over time. In the meantime good ventilation should be a priority to avoid the buildup of VOCs. Mold and VOCs are often found in new construction.
