Report to the Board on a Health Update: Staff Actions to Address Indoor Ozone Generators Sold as Air Purifiers | |
Some appliances sold as indoor air cleaners or purifiers purposely emit ozone, purportedly to clean the air. Manufacturers of such "ozone generators" often falsely claim that these devices eliminate bacteria, mold, and chemical contaminants from the air, and can help allergies, asthma, and other health conditions. However, research shows that ozone is emitted from these devices at levels harmful to health. Staff initially briefed the Board on this matter in January 2005. Staff will report on actions that have been taken to address ozone generators. | ||

Public Hearing to Consider the Amendments to the Dry Cleaning Airborne Toxic Control Measure (ATCM) | |
ARB staff recently evaluated the effectiveness of the Dry Cleaning ATCM. The evaluation showed that there are residual health risks associated with Perc emissions from dry cleaning operations, the best available control technology (BACT) for Perc dry cleaning operations has evolved, more effective ventilation systems exist, and alternative technologies are available and viable. Accordingly, ARB staff is proposing amendments to the Dry Cleaning ATCM. The proposed amendments are designed to further protect public health by phasing out the use of Perc in co residential facilities, implementing siting criteria for new facilities, phasing out the use of the more emissive Perc technologies in existing facilities, restricting the use of other TACs, and requiring enhanced ventilation for new and existing facilities that use a solvent that contains a TAC. | ||

Public Hearing to Consider the Proposed Amendments of Vapor Recovery System Certification and Test Procedures for Gasoline Marketing Operations at Service Stations | |
In this rulemaking staff is proposing amendments to revise the performance specifications for vent valves without increasing emissions, clarify the certification process for new, modified and renewed systems and components and adjust regulation implementation dates to conform to administrative actions. Staff is also proposing that the State Water Resources Control Board be included in the certification process to ensure certified vapor recovery systems also meet the underground storage tank statutory requirements of a new law that passed in 2004 (AB 2955). | ||

06-5-4: |
Public Hearing to Consider Adoption of New Emission Standards, Fleet Requirements, and Test Procedures for Forklifts and other Industrial Equipment | |
Staff is proposing amendments to California's existing off-road large spark-ignition engine regulations to harmonize with existing U.S. EPA emission standard requirements in 2007, establish more stringent emission standard requirements in 2010, and establish fleet average requirements for operators of LSI fleets beginning in 2009 and becoming more stringent in 2011 and 2013. The proposal contains an alternative compliance option for agricultural fleets to address issues specific to that industry. It also contains a verification procedure for retrofit control systems. | ||
