Title: Revision to Definition of Volatile Organic Compounds--Exclusion of trans 1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene and 2,3,3,3-tertrafluoropropene | |
Abstract: This action proposes to add trans 1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene and 2,3,3,3-tertrafluoropropene to the list of negligibly reactive compounds in the definition of volatile organic compounds. Data indicate that the photochemical reactivity of these compounds is low enough that they can be regarded as negligibly reactive in ozone formation and will not contribute to violations of the ozone national ambient air quality standard. The compound 2,3,3,3-tertrafluoropropene has been identified as a possible substitute for a high global warming compound which is currently used in automobile air conditioners. | |
