Summary:According to former U.S. Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis, "Revising OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard will improve the guality and consistency of hazards information, making it safer for workers to do their jobs and easier for employers to stay competitive. [...]of using EPA Method 24, the formulator or end-user will likely over-report VOC content of these types of fluids. Initial testing of EPA 24 by AQMD indicated that semi-volatile fluids displayed very poor repeatability and, thus was not a reliable test method for VOC determination. Since the ASTM method is a weight loss over time, any volatile material will be defined as VOC.
