You should know
VOCs, also known as Volatile Organic Compounds, are gases emitted into the air from products or processes. They are widely used in various industries and products like paints, varnishes, wax, disinfection and even cosmetic products. Since there is such a wide variety of pollutants, health risks also vary greatly depending on levels of exposure and length of time exposed. Some effects include eye, nose, and throat irritation, headaches, loss of coordination, nausea, liver, and kidney damage.

Health guidelines

EWG guideline0.7 ppb
The health guideline of 0.7 ppb for carbofuran was defined by the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment as a public health goal, the level of a drinking water contaminant that does not pose a significant health risk. This health guideline protects against harm to the brain and nervous system.

EPA Maxiumum Contaminant Level (MCL)

The legal limit for carbofuran, established in 1991, was based on a toxicity study in laboratory animals conducted in the 1980s. This limit may not fully protect against harm to the brain and nervous system due to carbofuran exposure.
