Wisconsin Reactive Organic Gas (ROG) Emissions

Health Effects

Volatile Organic Compounds (a.k.a. Reactive Organic Gases (ROG)) are precursors to the formation of ozone (O₃) near ground level. A wide array of health effects has been attributed to short-term (1 to 3 hrs), prolonged (6 to 8 hrs), and long-term (months to years) exposures to O₃. For more information go to the EPA web site  [exit DNR].
