Offgassing is the process of evaporation of chemicals contained in various materials found in your home, office, and other buildings. Offgassing releases the chemicals into the air around the materials, continuing often for years after the products are initially installed. You can continue to breathe these chemicals as you work, sleep, relax, and play.
Materials such as paints, stains, varnishes, carpet, insulation, flooring, kitchen cabinets and countertops, plywood, particleboard, and paint strippers can produce significant offgassing in your home or office, compromising the indoor air quality of what you are breathing every day. Chemicals that offgas are typically Volatile Organic Conpounds (VOCs) that often produce a noticeable chemical odor.
