Item H: Volatile Organic Compounds 2025 Rulemaking (Informational) DEQ will provide an overview of a proposed rulemaking to develop standards that will limit the content of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in consumer products and architectural coatings sold in Oregon. This rulemaking will pro-actively address the issue of ground-level ozone pollution in Oregon by reducing emissions of VOCs, which can act as precursors to ozone formation. The proposed rules would largely apply to products that are used in and around households and in construction and would not typically apply to manufacturing and industrial settings
