La Ley General del Equilibrio Ecológico y la Protección al Ambiente, así como su Reglamento en Materia de Prevención y Control de la Contaminación de la Atmósfera establecen que la calidad del aire debe ser satisfactoria en todas las regiones del país, y que las emisiones de contaminantes a la atmósfera deben ser reducidas y controladas para asegurar una calidad del aire satisfactoria para el bienestar de la sociedad y del medio ambiente que nos rodea.

 

The General Law of Ecological Equilibrium and Protection of the Environment (LGEEPA), as well as its Regulation in Matters of Prevention and Control of the Contamination of the Atmosphere establish that the quality of the air must be satisfactory in all human habitations and regions of the country and that the emissions of contaminants to the atmosphere must be reduced and controlled for assuring a satisfactory quality of air for the wellbeing of society and the environment that surrounds us.

Que en la fabricación de pinturas de secado al aire base disolvente para uso doméstico, se usan compuestos orgánicos volátiles, los cuales al aplicarse se evaporan, y cuando rebasan ciertas concentraciones pueden intervenir en reacciones fotoquímicas atmosféricas, que afectan al ambiente, por lo que es necesario establecer límites máximos permisibles con el fin de prevenir y controlar la contaminación ambiental.

 

That in the fabrication of solvent based air dry paints for domestic use, volatile organic compounds are used, which when applied evaporate, and when they exceed certain concentrations can be involved in atmospheric photochemical reactions, that effect the environment, for which it is necessary to establish maximum permissible limits for the purpose of preventing and controlling environmental contamination.
