The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) suggests keeping tVOC levels as low as possible, typically below 0.5 parts per million (ppm) for good indoor air quality. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends a guideline value of 0.3 mg/m³ (milligrams per cubic meter) for total VOCs in indoor air.
