What Regulations Govern Toxic Substances in Paint?
Various regulatory bodies oversee the use of toxic substances in paint production. In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates VOC emissions through the Clean Air Act. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) sets permissible exposure limits for hazardous chemicals in the workplace. Internationally, the European Union's REACH regulation controls the registration, evaluation, and authorization of chemicals to ensure safety.
