Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are organic chemicals that have a high vapor pressure at ordinary room temperature. Their high vapor pressure results from a low boiling point, which causes large numbers of molecules to transport from the liquid or solid form of the compound to the atmosphere.

 

 

 

VOCs are especially hazardous to human health and to environment. Some cases of VOC emissions are of significant interest, such as those coming from transportation, industrial manufacturing or in doors environment. VOCs removal is very important field of research and this seminar is designed to meet the needs of chemical and mechanical engineers, industrial manufacturers, potential investors and environmental engineers.
