VOC Information

Definition: Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are organic chemical compounds that have high enough vapor pressures under normal conditions to significantly vaporize and enter the atmosphere.

Why Should VOC’s be Regulated?

VOC’s are part of the formation of SMOG (ground-level ozone). SMOG can create respiratory problems and eventually cause asthma, pneumonia and bronchitis.

VOC Regulation

Although the EPA develops air quality standards, each state is required to monitor and keep ozone at levels considered “safe” by creating regulatory initiatives.

The first state to act was California in 1989 which created VOC limits restricting VOC concentration in certain products and categories. Other states have followed, most notable the group OTC* (Ozone Transport Commission) and Lake Michigan Air Directors Consortium.

Cyclo and VOC compliant products

Cyclo is continually monitoring and updating products to ensure that customers have access to VOC products that still have the professional performance customers depend and rely on from Cyclo. Cyclo also updates sales material and labels as new laws come into effect to reflect regulations on products that may have sale restrictions.
