I have lived in California since 1980 and remember Stage 1 smog
alerts.  I feel like my family is a "mini-lab" showing the effect
of air quality as we lived in Diamond Bar.  We moved from the east
coast when I was 9, my sister 4.5 and my brother 1.  My brother has
asthma, my sister has allergies and I don't have any lung issues. 
I now live in Huntington Beach (a mile from the ocean) and can
literally taste the nastiness on smoggy days.  I do believe our air
is better than the 80s and I do love the beautiful sunsets the smog
creates but anything and everything you can do to improve the
quality is SO IMPORTANT.  Please continue to fight for our right to
breathe.

Thanks

I am a California supporter of the Environmental Working Group
(EWG) who wants cleaner air. I urge the California Air Resources
Board to adopt the 2010 Consumer Products Regulation Amendments.
These amendments would reduce smog-forming volatile organic
compounds (VOCs) found in cleaning supplies and many other consumer
goods. 

They would also create product-specific bans of key ingredients
with significant health or environmental concerns, including
alkylphenol ethoxylates, perchloroethylene and chemicals with high
potential to worsen global warming.

I encourage you to strongly regulate and reduce the harmful
chemicals in consumer products. In doing so, we can set an
important precedent in protecting the health of families and
workers -- not only in our state but nationwide as well. 

I appreciate the protections you have already put into place --
thank you for taking air pollution and our health seriously!
