Household VOCs Are Polluting the Air: Here’s How to Protect Your Health

Are you aware that household products like air fresheners, cleaners, and paints are now a major source of air pollution in cities? In this video, I dive into how volatile chemical products (VCPs) contribute to outdoor pollution, surpassing even cars and factories in many industrialized areas. These products release volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which escape from our homes and react with pollutants, forming harmful particles and ground-level ozone.

Join me as I explain how these everyday items affect air quality and share practical tips to reduce your exposure to VOCs. From replacing scented products to using a dedicated fresh air intake system like an Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV), learn how you can protect your health and improve your indoor air quality. Also, learn how to reduce odors. Does activated carbon work well?
