EFFECTS OF VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS (10244818) Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are organic chemical compounds that have high enough vapor pressures under normal conditions to significantly vaporize and enter the atmosphere. According to EPA ’s Terms of the Environment‚ a volatile organic compound is "any organic compound that participates in atmospheric photochemical reactions except those designated by EPA as having negligible photochemical reactivity." VOC can also stand for the term “volatile

Price effect: The price change effect on consumption can be broken down into two parts depending upon the change relative in pricing of products and income. The first one is called substitution effect wherein price change of a product leads to change in consumption‚ here the income remains constant. The second is the income effct wherein the relative income of people changes which leads to a change in the purchasing power‚ here the price is considered constant. * prices change >> income

environment and hard to eradicate once introduced into the ecosystem. Natural pollution comes in forms of invasive species (plants and animals)‚ but also can come in forms of run-off. Artificial pollution comes in the form of litter and adds to the harmful effects of the natural pollution. Invasive species take up space in the ecosystem and push out species that are native to the area. Litter (artificial pollution) makes it hard for animals and plants to live in their environment‚ and when invasive species

These are artificial‚ but they tell us something about short- term effects of tobacco that can’t be found from co relational studies.

The greenhouse effect‚ first discovered by Joseph Fourier in 1824‚ and confirmed by Svante Arrhenius in 1896‚ is the process by which an atmosphere warms a planet. The term greenhouse effect may be used to refer to two different things nowadays: the natural greenhouse effect‚ which refers to the greenhouse effect which occurs naturally on Earth‚ and the enhanced greenhouse effect‚ which results from human activities.
