Announcement: FY2009 Award for Implementation of Measures to Reduce VOC Emissions

In order to prevent air pollution by Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM) and photochemical oxidant, the MOE has set a goal of reducing Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) emissions from stationary sources by 30% from 2000 by 2010, and has been advancing measures for VOC emission control with an appropriate combination of statutory regulation and voluntary reduction efforts taken by business operators.
