China’s new frontier for VOC regulations

GreenBiz

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) combine with nitrogen oxide to create ozone, a key precursor to smog. In 2010, the Central Government of China integrated the "Guideline on Strengthening Joint Prevention and Control of Atmospheric Pollution to Improve Air Quality" into its 12th Five Year Plan. Air emission reform in China.

US, China commit to phase down climate-warming HFCs from refrigerators and air conditioners – but what will replace them this time?

Renewable Energy World

CFCs were destroying the ozone layer high in the Earth’s atmosphere, which is essential for protecting life from the Sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiation. But when they break down, they create chlorine that reacts with the protective ozone, letting dangerous radiation through to the Earth’s surface. Why HFCs are a climate problem.

Air District Targets Southern California Logistics Industry

Latham's Clean Energy Law Report

The Basin does not meet the state or federal ambient air quality standards for ozone and particulate matter, and existing regulations have to date proved insufficient to bring the Basin into compliance. According to the 2016 AQMP, mobile sources contributed about 88% of total NO x emissions in the Basin in 2012.
