The nonprofit...certifies more than 150,000 building and furnishing products and materials for volatile organic compounds (VOC) and other chemicals. Now the program will expand to measure chemical outgassing of electronic products while in operation. The results will then be cross-referenced against the short- and long-term health risks associated with exposure of the chemicals...
