I am concerned that the ARB’s proposed 10% VOC standards for Brake
Cleaners, Carburetor or Fuel-Injection Air Intake Cleaners, Engine
Degreasers, and General Purpose Degreasers could prevent or hinder
me from effectively cleaning and maintaining my classic vehicles.
Further, I am concerned that the ARB did not consider the impact
of these standards on vintage vehicles that still have carburetors
and require effective products to ensure that they remain
operational in the years to come. Carburetors that are allowed to
become dirty and clogged would cause more pollution than the
proposed limits would prevent.
Finally, I believe that in an effort to find home-brewed
solutions, people might use unsafe chemicals like gasoline,
kerosene, and other dangerous solvents instead of safe, tested
labled cleaners available today, again, not only negating any
benifit of reduced VOC products, but adding to the risk of fire
and injury.
Sincerely,
David Riker
