California’s South Coast Air Quality Management District adopted Rule 1168 in April 1989 to reduce volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from adhesive and sealant applications. The rule has been amended 14 times.
On July 9, the Canadian Government published a renewed version of its Federal Agenda for the Reduction of Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Emissions from Consumer and Commercial Products in Canada Gazette, Part I. This agenda signals Canada’s intention to take further action between 2022 and 2030 to protect public health and the environment from the impacts of air pollution.
