I used to work in an automotive paint shop. When our exhaust scrubber (burner) went down, we had to stop painting cars. We had a 'budget' of VOC exhaust per year. I don't know when that went in, I imagine in the 80's or 90's.
We switched to water based paints in 2013 and that really helped with the VOC.
