The Environmental Protection Agency has officially approved changes to Connecticut’s state air quality plan. This action finalizes revisions the state submitted in April 2025, which update how the state defines the ozone standard for adhesives and sealants.
Why it matters: This is mostly an administrative approval. It does not create new federal restrictions but rather recognizes that Connecticut has already tightened its own rules. The practical effect is that these state standards become federally enforceable, meaning the EPA can step in if Connecticut fails to follow them.
Who it affects
- Manufacturers and sellers of adhesives and sealants operating in Connecticut
