| Subject | Help California get rid of a dangerous carcinogen and one of the state's top 10 air contam |
| Comment | mayor Gary Silbiger 4436 Jasmine Avenue Culver City, CA 90232-3429 January 12, 2007 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. I want to thank you and the Board for voting last May to phase out this carcinogen. Your action will help protect the cleaners, customers and our neighborhoods. I am writing you with three requests that will strengthen your current perc phaseout proposal: 1. People should not be exposed to perchloroethylene. Instead of the 15-year phaseout in your current proposal, speed up this process to a 10-year phaseout. For many years, I have not used a dry cleaning establishment that uses perc because of the real fear of my family and me becoming seriously ill. Thank you. Sincerely, Gary Silbiger, mayor, Culver City, California (310) 837-2667 |
