What Are VOCs: How to Reduce Volatile Organic Compounds at home

One of those popular terms when it comes to a healthy home is “VOC free”.  But what are VOCs? My stance on just about any toxin is you have to know what it is, how it affects your health and where it comes from in order to properly change your lifestyle, habits and products to get rid of it. VOCs are volatile organic compounds that have become highly regulated over the past few years in terms of products that we bring into our home.  Yet so may products that claim to be “green” and “natural” still contain these toxins.   Because of this greenwashing tactic, the time has come for us as homeowners and consumers to be armed with knowledge and facts in order to change our homes for the better. It’s important to know what chemicals are in the VOC category and how to avoid them in our everyday products and our home materials.  VOCs are so prevalent and we are surrounded by them so regularly that our bodies are rarely getting a good break from them.  This is why I think it’s so  important to pay attention to.  Any place we can reduce VOCs in our home can give our bodies that small break from toxins it needs to function at a higher level. https://www.healthyhouseontheblock.co...
