Aqueous Cleaners and VOC Emission Enforcement


"Many regulatory agencies and third-party certification agencies have attempted to define VOCs by establishing endpoints based on physical properties to exclude chemicals that do not evaporate in a reasonable time under ambient conditions. The EPA exempts solvents in consumer products with a vapor pressure of 0.1 mm/mercury (Hg) or less at 20 °C, concluding that those compounds have little or no volatility and that an exemption will not result in significant VOC emissions and contribute to ozone formation."
