What are Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)?
VOCs are industrial and fuel-related chemicals that may cause bad health effects at certain levels. Which VOCs to test for depends on where you live. Contact your local health or environmental department, or the EPA to find out if any VOCs are a problem in your region. Some VOCs to ask about testing for are benzene, carbon tetrachloride, toluene, trichloroethelene, and methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE).
A volatile organic compound has thge ability to change states from a dissolved contaminent to a gas. For this reason, distillation can not be trusted not remove VOC's since the contamination can be carried over in the steam into the product water.
