Emission from paints, solvents for thinning paint and various cleaning purposes is one of the major sources of VOC. It contributed to about 23% of the total emission in 2006. A new regulation legislation was enacted in 2007 to impose statutory limits on the VOC content of 51 categories of architectural paints, to take effect in three phases, i.e. starting 1 January of 2008, 2009 and 2010 respectively. The new trend for using more low VOC paint is expected to continue in the coming years.
