HC-Pedia Entry

Organic chemical, compound

An organic compound is any chemical substance that contains carbon. These include not only foods, oils, and waste, but also volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are ingredients in many common household products and found in building materials. Some solvents used in cleaning contain VOCs, which can be harmful to touch or breathe. For safety’s sake, read and understand all product labels before use. The instructions will tell you whether and what kinds of precautions should be followed to prevent any health hazards.
