How are VOC's measured?
Q. Can you briefly describe how VOC's, in a gallon of paint for instance, are
determined and reported? Where might I find more basic data on emmissions from paint? Your book?
VOCs are determined by following EPA Test Method 24. I believe that you can
search for this on the Internet, although I don't have the URL. You can also
find the VOC information on the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) of each coating
product. Many MSDSs are available online at the manufacturer's website, but
if you want to use the more global services, you might need to pay.
Best wishes,
Ron Joseph
