IAC’s Spokane Facility recognized for their clean air efforts
Surface coating (e.g. painting, varnishing) is a very common process – nearly everything we come into contact with in our daily lives has been coated. Surface coating operations are a large source of emissions, primarily volatile organic compounds (VOCs). VOCs are a key contributor to ground-level ozone, a harmful air pollutant. Therefore, any efforts by businesses and consumers to reduce their use of products containing VOCs are encouraged.
