Abstract Information :
VOCs have wide ranging detrimental health effects ranging from mild irritation to carcinogenic, so emissions and workplace levels are both tightly regulated.
In addition to their health effects, VOC emissions are also responsible for a range of environmental effects including acting as a pre-cursor to photochemical smog, which causes ground level ozone; another pollutant with harmful health effects.
The VOC Solvents Emissions Directive was created to reduce industrial emissions of VOCs in the CPCB and European Union. It covers a wide range of solvent using applications such as paint spraying, printing, surface cleaning, vehicle coating, Refineries, petrochemicals and pharmaceuticals.
There are different sensors, detectors and analysers are available to measure VOCs and can discuss details on different measurement techniques and applicability.
