An Introduction to Volatile Organic Compounds

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted in almost all industries, at many stages of a product’s lifespan. They can be greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change, and certain compounds are also harmful to human health. emissions limits are defined in environmental regulations such as the IED to keep the air clean and industries must comply to keep their operating permit valid.

In this e-book, we describe the need for VOC removal and the impact of legislation. We also explain the efficiency of activated carbon filtration, a proven technology for VOC removal.
