Non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs) are the same as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), but with methane excluded. Methane is relatively non-toxic and not directly harmful to human health, although it does significantly contribute to climate change and ozone formation. NMVOCs are air pollutants that can harm human health and typically originate from combustion or the evaporation of fuels and other substances.
