It's caused by volatile organic compounds, or VOCs.

Those chemicals fall under the broader umbrella of volatile organic compounds, or VOCs.

这些化学质都属于有机，也就是 VOCs 范畴。

Some VOCs are known to cause health issues like headaches or liver and kidney damage.

已知一些有机化会导致头痛或肝脏和肾脏损害等问题。

What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds, VOCs for short.

通过空气，植输送是一种有机化混，简称 VOCs。

Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked. It's a plant's way of crying out.

科学家，各种植在受到攻击时都会释放出有机化，这是一种植呼救方式。

But VOC is do more than just scatter blue.

但 VOC 作用不仅仅是散布蓝色。

Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked.

科学家，各种植在受到攻击时都会释放出VOCs。

[Narrator] The smell of freshly cut grass, that's a VOC and so is that classic Christmas tree smell.

VOCs are compounds that easily become vapors and may contain elements, such as carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, chlorine, and sulfur.

VOC 是容易变成蒸汽化，可能含有碳、氧、氢、氯和硫等元素。

The world's plants emit 500 million tons of VOC every year, and that can make a lot of ozone.

A 2009 study tested 28 varieties of indoor plants and found four that were best at capturing every VOC the researchers threw at them.

Initially, British policy toward indigenous workers was  little different from the authoritarian VOC, but as the century progressed, some improvements  were made.

但是尼里表示，对于房屋或者公寓来说，“可以用多种植来吸收室内空气中各种有机化。”

Since the city didn't burn much coal, its cause would remain a mystery until a chemist named Arie Haagen-Smit identified two culprits, volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, and nitrous oxides.

由于这座城市没有燃烧太多煤， 它成因一直是个谜，直到一位名叫 Arie Haagen- Smit 化学家确定了两个罪魁祸首，即有机化 ( VOC)和一氧化二氮。

Unlike the rigid caste system employed by the VOC, British law was steadfastly colourblind: laws applied equally to all groups under  British rule, although racially-charged unequal administration of the law was still  common.

These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm. What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds, VOCs for short.

这些化学质来自植受损部位，似乎是一种警报。植通过空气输送是一种有机化混，简称VOCs。

This was formalized  in 1652 when the Dutch East India Company, known by its Dutch initials VOC, founded a  permanent outpost at Cape Town to act as a way-station for the VOC ships travelling to Dutch  possessions in East Asia.
