Dr. Sawyer and Board members



Dear Dr. Sawyer and Board members:

I am very concerned about the use of the toxic chemical
perchloroethylene
(perc) used in dry cleaning. We need to phase out this very toxic
chemical
as soon as possible..alternatives are available and the health of
our
residents and employees of the industry are at stake. I am also
asking you
to phase out new systems that use hydrocarbon solvents. To
provide
immediate protection to those who need it most, require perc dry
cleaners
within 300 feet of residential zones, schools, medical facilities
or other
sensitive areas to be phased out by 2010. Please continue to
protect
Californians from the health hazards of perchloroethylene by
adopting
these measures. Thank you.

Sincerely,


Lene Helton
