This article will cover where volatile compounds in the breath originate from, endogenous compounds, and exogenous compounds. Where do volatile compounds in the breath originate from? Breath comprises ...

The identification and quantification of both commercial (paints, coatings and fossil fuels) and naturally occurring VOCs has become an essential part of analytical chemistry. Volatile organic ...

The adsorption of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) remains a pivotal strategy for mitigating air pollution and enhancing environmental safety. Advances in adsorptive materials, particularly porous ...

(Beyond Pesticides, October 31, 2023) With cooler weather setting in and people heading indoors and closing windows, the issue of COVID-19 transmission escalates, as do concerns about toxic chemicals ...

The monitoring of biotechnological fermentation processes, used for the production of modern biopharmaceutical drugs, is becoming ever more relevant for the promotion of economical production, ...

Natalia Dudareva and colleagues found that the cuticle of petunia flowers acts as a sink for volatile compounds. Rather than emitting more of these compounds when the cuticle is thinned, the plants ...

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) enter the air from gasoline, pesticides, tobacco smoke, and thousands of other products and processes. They can increase the risk of airway problems and other health ...

Volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, are liquids or solids used in consumer products that turn into gas when exposed to air and sunlight. Some VOCs have been linked to asthma, cancer and reproductive ...

A research team has succeeded in automating an established method for the gentle, artifact-avoiding isolation of volatile food ingredients. As the team's current comparative study now shows, automated ...

Currently, there is no standard set for VOCs, but studies have found that levels of several organics average 2 to 5 times higher indoors than outdoors. If something smells, there's a good chance it's ...
