Back to Regulatory Requirements for the Emission Inventory
Regulations to reduce emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from fumigant pesticides went into effect in January 2008. The rules focus on field fumigant applications made between May 1 and October 31 in five “nonattainment areas” (NAAs) that do not meet federal air quality standards for pesticide VOC emissions: the San Joaquin Valley NAA, Sacramento Metro NAA, South Coast NAA, Southeast Desert NAA, and Ventura NAA.
