VOC Regulations [2024]
OVERVIEW
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) or Reactive Organic Gases (ROGs) are natural and man-made gases that can combine with nitrogen oxides (NOx) and react with sunlight to form ground-level ozone, one component of smog.
Ozone can damage lung tissue in humans and animals, cause respiratory illnesses, compromise immune systems, and harm crops. Ground-level ozone is harmful to both human health and vegetation when present in high concentrations. VOCs play a part in the formation of ground-level ozone.
California must reduce every source of VOCs to help solve its air pollution issues.
This course will familiarize applicators with California's regulations regarding pesticide use and was last updated with 2019 information.
