Regarding ceramic tiles, their chemical composition is mineral and not organic and they undergo tile firing cycles at 1,200°C that ensure the total elimination of contaminants such as volatile organic compounds. Consequently, ceramic tiles are granted a A+ rating, since they do not release any toxic substance into the environment.
