Which agency establishes regulations concerning air emissions from coatings?

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is the agency responsible for establishing regulations concerning air emissions from coatings. This includes overseeing the Clean Air Act, which sets standards for air quality and regulates emissions of hazardous air pollutants. The EPA's role in this area ensures that coatings used in various applications do not release pollutants into the air that could harm public health or the environment. Their regulations are designed to limit the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other harmful substances in coating materials, thus promoting safer air quality standards.

In contrast, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) primarily focuses on workplace safety and health regulations, while the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) conducts research and makes recommendations for the prevention of work-related injury and illness. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates food, pharmaceuticals, and medical devices, which does not directly relate to air emissions from coatings.
