Applied Technical Services conducts polymer VOC testing and analysis to ensure that our clients’ products fall within regulated emission standards. Indoor environments contain several sources of potential air pollutants. Activities such as cooking and cleaning create short-term VOC emissions, while building materials and furniture, among other items, may contribute to long-term air pollution. People generally spend most of their time indoors, so it is important to identify and regulate potential sources of indoor air pollutants. Polymers are common materials in consumer products. Polymers such as silicone, polypropylene, and nylon see frequent use in a variety of applications, including toys, auto parts, bottles, computers, and textiles. These materials often emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can be harmful in high enough concentrations.
