How Do Volatile Organic Compounds Affect Pediatric Health?
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are chemicals that evaporate at room temperature and are found in household products like paints, cleaning supplies, and personal care products. Short-term exposure can cause eye, nose, and throat irritation, headaches, and dizziness in children. Long-term exposure may lead to more serious conditions such as liver or kidney damage and central nervous system disorders. Parents should be vigilant about using VOC-containing products and ensure proper ventilation.
