Action:
Definition of Volatile Organic Compound (Rev. C25)
Action 6947
 
General Information
Action Summary The general definitions of 9VAC5-10 impose no regulatory requirements in and of themselves but provide support to other provisions of the Regulations for the Control and Abatement of Air Pollution. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has revised the definition of volatile organic compound (VOC) to add cis-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluorobut-2-ene (also known as HFO-1336mzz-Z; CAS number 692-49-9) to the list of substances excluded from the definition of VOC on the basis that this substance makes a negligible contribution to tropospheric ozone formation. The state definition must now be revised accordingly.
