The voc full form is Volatile Organic Compound. Compounds with a high vapor pressure but low water solubility are known as volatile organic compounds. Many VOCs are man-made substances that are utilized and created in the production of paints, medicines, and refrigerants, among other things. Industrial solvents, such as trichloroethylene; fuel oxygenates, such as methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE); or chlorination by-products, such as chloroform, are examples of VOCs. Petroleum fuels, hydraulic fluids, paint thinners, and dry cleaning chemicals all contain VOCs. VOCs are typical pollutants found in groundwater.
