Subject | No more fragrance pollution |
Comment | I support changes to regulations which could reduce the overall public exposure to fragrances. The elimination of the exemption should occur as soon as possible for our health and our environment, I do not support extending the deadline to 2031. Whether VOCs come from fragrance chemicals or from any other sources, they affect our outdoor air pollution and our health. CARB should be treating all industries equitably when it comes to reducing VOC emissions. Research has shown that there is a considerable proportion of the population that have reported adverse reactions to fragranced products. In a national survey, over 34% of respondents in the U.S. reported health problems, such as migraine headaches and respiratory difficulties, in response to exposure to fragranced products. In addition, skin allergies to fragrance are well documented in the scientific literature. Between 2-11% of the general population experience skin allergies to fragrance. Thank you for your consideration of these comments. |
