Emission from paints and solvents is one of the major sources of VOC. It contributed to about 24% of the total emission in 2007. Starting from 1 April 2007, a new legislation has been enacted to impose statutory limits on the VOC content of 51 categories of architectural paints, to take effect in three phases, starting from 1 January of 2008, 2009 and 2010 respectively. It is expected that the VOC emission from paints and solvents will further decrease in the coming years. We are also considering extending the control to vehicle refinishing paints and marine vessel paints.
