Overview

Volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, are carbon-based chemicals that evaporate readily at room temperature because of their high vapor pressure. They are emitted from a wide range of natural and human-made sources, including plants, fuels, solvents, paints, cleaning products, and industrial processes, and they are also found in air, water, and soil. VOCs are significant in several fields: in environmental science they contribute to air quality concerns and the formation of ground-level ozone; in health research certain VOCs are studied for their toxic or irritant effects; and in pharmaceutical and analytical science they are relevant as residual solvents that must be controlled in drug manufacturing and as targets for detection and measurement. Techniques such as gas chromatography are commonly used to identify and quantify them. Within the journal's coverage of advanced pharmaceutical science and technology, VOCs relate to analytical chemistry, solvent control, and the assessment of exposure and toxicity. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to volatile organic compounds, supporting readers interested in their sources, measurement, environmental and health significance, and the analytical methods used to detect and manage them in pharmaceutical and related settings.
