Subject | California air quality |
Comment | I have lived in California since 1980 and remember Stage 1 smog alerts. I feel like my family is a "mini-lab" showing the effect of air quality as we lived in Diamond Bar. We moved from the east coast when I was 9, my sister 4.5 and my brother 1. My brother has asthma, my sister has allergies and I don't have any lung issues. I now live in Huntington Beach (a mile from the ocean) and can literally taste the nastiness on smoggy days. I do believe our air is better than the 80s and I do love the beautiful sunsets the smog creates but anything and everything you can do to improve the quality is SO IMPORTANT. Please continue to fight for our right to breathe. Thanks Isabella I am a California supporter of the Environmental Working Group (EWG) who wants cleaner air. I urge the California Air Resources Board to adopt the 2010 Consumer Products Regulation Amendments. These amendments would reduce smog-forming volatile organic compounds (VOCs) found in cleaning supplies and many other consumer goods. They would also create product-specific bans of key ingredients with significant health or environmental concerns, including alkylphenol ethoxylates, perchloroethylene and chemicals with high potential to worsen global warming. I encourage you to strongly regulate and reduce the harmful chemicals in consumer products. In doing so, we can set an important precedent in protecting the health of families and workers -- not only in our state but nationwide as well. I appreciate the protections you have already put into place -- thank you for taking air pollution and our health seriously! |
