1. Elite
Crete
Floor
Coatings:
100%
VOC
free
Volatile
organic
compounds
or
VOCs
are
gases
emitted
from
various
chemicals—
whether
solid
or
liquid.
According
to
the
United
State
Environmental
Protection
Agency,
some
VOCs
might
have
short
term
and
long
term
consequences
that
may
adversely
affect
the
health
of
people.
Several
cases
of
indoor
VOC
contamination
included
reports
about
frequent
nose
bleeding
among
individuals
living
in
such
homes.
Respiratory
illnesses
like
asthma
and
bronchitis
is
also
a
common
observation
among
members
of
the
household.
Furthermore,
there
were
a
handful
of
cases
that
alleges
the
link
between
VOC-­‐laden
products
and
the
development
of
lung
cancer
over
time.
What
alarms
concerned
entities
and
individuals
are
that
VOCs
are
said
to
be
more
concentrated
indoors.
In
recent
studies,
experts
concluded
that
the
relative
concentration
of
harmful
VOCs
is
up
to
ten
times
higher
indoors
compared
to
outdoors.
In
layman
interpretation,
it
seems
as
if
indoor
air
is
even
more
dangerous
than
polluted
outdoor
air.
These
led
researchers
to
test
several
products
that
are
commonly
found
and
used
inside
the
home
including
paint,
paint
stripper,
pesticide,
cleaning
materials,
and
floor
coatings.
In
more
recent
studies,
experts
have
found
out
that
a
lot
of
floor
coating
solutions
actually
contain
high
VOC
concentration.
Australia,
not
spared
from
this
controversy,
is
actually
one
of
the
major
markets
for
floor
coating
solutions
that
are
not
100%
free
from
volatile
organic
compounds.
Because
of
this,
stricter
rules
were
implemented
in
manufacturing
floor
coatings.
Guidelines
were
set
on
producing
VOC-­‐free
floor
and
wall
coatings.
Among
those
that
were
able
to
comply
with
these
regulations
are
Elite
Crete
floor
coating
products.
Listed
below
is
a

2. What
is
good
about
products
that
comply
with
these
environmental
standards
is
that
there
is
little
or
no
risk
in
using
such
products.
At
the
same
time,
by
manufacturing
products
that
do
not
emit
VOCs,
air
pollution
(whether
indoors
or
outdoors)
is
controlled
thereby
minimizing
contaminants
in
the
environment.
Wouldn’t
it
be
great
to
start
using
products
that
comply
with
international
safety
and
environmental
standards
regarding
VOCs?
It
is
a
great
start
and
absolutely
a
great
contribution
in
keeping
the
air
free
from
pollutants.
With
