Reactivity Research Advisory Committee
This page last reviewed July 2, 2009
The Reactivity Research Advisory Committee (RRAC) consists of a group of representatives from the solvent and coatings industries, the U.S. EPA, ARB, and the California Air Districts. The objectives of this committee are to discuss reactivity research needs in areas of interest and to help the ARB develop reactivity-based VOC control strategies.
