Term: Aliphatic Compounds
Definition: Organic compounds consisting of carbon and hydrogen, characterized by straight or branched chains or non-aromatic rings.
Term: Aromatic Compounds
Definition: Compounds containing one or more benzene rings, often with distinct stability and reactivity due to resonance.
Term: Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons
Definition: Complex organic compounds that consist of multiple fused aromatic rings, which can pose environmental and health risks.
Term: Chemical of Concern
Definition: Any chemical that poses potential human health risks and needs to be monitored due to its toxicity or environmental impact.
Term: Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
Definition: Organic chemicals that have a high vapor pressure at room temperature, making them significant pollutants in industrial processes.
