چکیده
1 No portion of the emission reduction was achieved through reformulating any coatings with acetone. Some stains and basecoats have been reformulated with acetone as the primary solvent; however Ethan Allen has included acetone emissions in the 257 tons per year VOC figure. Acetone was removed from the U.S. EPA’s VOC list on June 16, 1995 and is not a listed HAP, but it remains as a listed HAC under Vermont regulations.
