Abstract: The EPA proposed regulations to control volatile organic compound (VOC) emsissions from architectural coatings. VOCs contribute significantly to the formation of ground-level ozone (smog). Architectural coatings are commonly used by consumers and contractors, and include products such as exterior and interior paints, industrial maintenance coatings, wookd and roof coatings, primers, traffic paints, and speciality coatings.
