FOCUS: Solvents and VOCs
This factsheet published in April 2020 gives an overview of which solvents can be found in indoor air and explains why VOC solvents are still present in dedicated applications. A technical paper published at the same time shows the industry's commitment to reduce emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and improving indoor air quality.
