Which of the following is an example of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)?

  1. Glass

  2. Wood

  3. Paints

  4. Brick

The correct answer is: Paints

The correct answer is paints, as they contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can easily evaporate at room temperature. VOCs are significant because they contribute to indoor air pollution and can have a range of health effects on occupants. In paints, these compounds can help with their application and drying processes, but they are also a concern for air quality. Glass, wood, and brick do not inherently release VOCs. While wood can emit some compounds, it typically does not fall under the category of VOCs in the same way as paints. Therefore, paints represent the most clear example of VOCs among the options presented.
