Abstract

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted as gases from certain solids or liquids. VOCs include a variety of chemicals, some of which may have short- and long-term adverse health effects. Current technologies for the treatment of VOC contaminated off-gasses are expensive to operate and more cost effective technologies are needed.(omitted)
