Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are a particular concern in indoor environments, where they can impact indoor air quality (IAQ) and lead to short- and long-term adverse health effects such as eye, nose, and throat irritation; headaches; nausea; and damage to the liver, kidneys, and central nervous system. VOCs from paints, coatings, and other construction materials can be a nuisance to painting crews, building occupants, and passersby, and lead to the same potential health effects as with indoor environments. [...]VOCs from outside can be drawn into a building through open windows and into air systems inside of a building. While the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) does not have a general air quality standard, it does require employers to furnish employees with a worksite that is free from recognized hazards (in the case of painting, by providing appropriate ventilation and respiratory protection) and sets limits on exposure to air contaminants and particulate release.
