Make sure the contractor and subcontractors know what information to look for and don’t just use products that claim they are low-VOC. To find the VOC g/L information, look on the product’s MSDS and compare that number with the VOC limits listed for different uses as determined by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Rule #1168, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District-Regulation 8 Rule 51, Green Seal-11 for paints, and Green Seal-36 for aerosol adhesives. See the Documentation Toolkit for a summary of these limits.
