Where can volatile organic compounds (VOCs) typically be found in residential construction?

  1. Are supported by environmentalists for green buildings.

  2. In various resins, fillers, and caulking traditionally used.

  3. Are completely absent in painting products.

  4. Reduced by using natural resins in construction.

  5. Found only in outdoor materials.

  6. Contained in waterproofing solutions exclusively.

The correct answer is: In various resins, fillers, and caulking traditionally used.

In residential construction, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are typically found in various resins, fillers, and caulking traditionally used. VOCs are commonly present in products such as paints, varnishes, and other finishes, as well as adhesives, sealants, and caulking compounds. These substances can vaporize and emit gases into the indoor environment, contributing to indoor air pollution and potential health risks. Therefore, understanding the presence of VOCs in certain construction materials helps in making informed decisions to minimize exposure and promote healthier indoor air quality.
