Use paints free of volatile organic compounds, like those from Yolo Colorhouse, a Portland, Ore.
These include the exhaust gases such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs), and carbon monoxide (CO).
The background level of tropospheric ozone is inexorably rising as volatile organic compounds are released from burning coal and oil.

Ford's new solution captures the volatile organic compounds from paint waste and concentrates them into a rich mixture of hydrocarbons.
The study looked specifically at vehicle-emitted pollutants called volatile organic compounds ( VOCs) which enter the atmosphere from the tailpipes of cars and trucks.
Preventing leaks also cuts back on other air pollutants associated with gas production and use, including such volatile organic compounds as ethane and butane.
The study investigated whether dogs could be trained to reliably identify specific volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are linked to the presence of lung cancer.

Cancer appears to give off a signature smell of volatile organic compounds that can be detected using the right technical medical kit - and perhaps even dogs.
According to the EPA, since cleanup began in the early 1980 more than 74 million gallons of groundwater have been treated and 2, 000 pounds of volatile organic compounds removed.
FORBES: Google Buildings Polluted With Toxic Vapors From Chemical Spills
The breath-test technology relies on the idea that the biology of tumours can lead to the production of specific "volatile organic compounds", combinations of chemicals unlikely in a healthy person.
For the study, researchers from the University of Vermont analysed volatile organic compounds (VOCs) given off in exhaled breath by different bacteria as well as different strains of the same bacterium.
That was to put down volatile organic compounds that were coming up out of the oil that was sitting around the ship that was actually producing -- there actually is a threat to personal safety and health there on those vapors.
