Good thing I don't live there!
Also, just to mention, VOC's are volatile organic compounds - like gasoline, mineral spirits, acetone, etc. They aren't harmful if used in a well ventilated area. Glue, for example, won't emit any VOC's after it's cured, so it's no big deal. The limits placed on them are for environmental reasons only.
