Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are known to be contaminants originating in industrial processes and materials, as well as ...

Volatile organic compounds (VOC), usually associated with poor indoor air, were discovered in Finland in a borehole more than two kilometres deep. Previously, groundwater dating back tens of millions ...

Spoilage Markers: Indicators, often volatile compounds, that signal the deterioration of food quality due to microbial activity. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): Organic chemicals that can ...

“We studied the possible role of microbes in the formation or degradation of these VOCs by analysing genomic data on the microbial community,” says Senior Scientist Mari Nyyssönen of VTT.

Researchers from the University of Helsinki and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland took gas and microbial samples from a deep borehole drilled by the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) for ...

Previous research has shown that the microbial communities found on the plants’ roots are crucial to the wall’s function as a biofilter. In essence, bacteria and fungi utilize harmful airborne ...
