The Household & Commercial Products Association (HCPA) will present a four-part webinar series on volatile organic compounds (VOC) regulations and compliance.

To help product manufacturers and marketers understand air quality regulations and assist retailers and distributors in maintaining compliance in various states, the webinars outline current regulations and explain how companies can determine whether a product formulation complies with applicable State, Federal, and international VOC limits.
