Subject | Get HARMFUL Chemicals Out of Consumer Cleaning Products |
Comment | June 11, 2008 Luis Cabrales Campaign and Outreach Associate 811 W. 7th Street, Suite 1100 Los Angeles, CA 90017 Dear Luis Cabrales: Mary Nichols Chairman California Air Resources Board 1001 "I" Street P.O. Box 2815 Sacramento, CA 95812Dear Chairman Nichols, I encourage you to strongly reduce the harmful toxics found in cleaning and other consumer products. By regulating and reducing these chemicals from consumer products, the State of California will set another precedent in protecting the health of families and workers. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), harm our families' health and contaminate our air. Everyone is vulnerable to the harmful effects of these chemicals, which are often used where we work and live and where our children study and play. Many children in our communities suffer from asthma, and the chemicals emitted by consumer products only increase the chances that they endure more frequent attacks or develop asthma in the future. Furthermore, adults may experience an increased risk of liver and kidney damage and cancer from the daily use of consumer products. As a consumer and concerned citizen, I urge the California Air Resources Board to adopt tougher regulations on consumer products. I also urge you to include additional VOC reductions from some of the worst culprits - multipurpose cleaners, degreasers and glass cleaners. Please take this opportunity to protect the health of our families by significantly reducing these air pollutants that emanate from consumer products. Thank you. Sincerely, Darek Leiner |
