RE: Proposed Regulation to Limit Ozone Emissions from Indoor Air
Cleaning Devices


To: California Air Resource Board:

My name is Laurence Franken and I am a Ph.D. student in Public
Health at Walden University. Prior to entering a Ph.D. program, I
was a researcher for STERIS – a provider of infection control
technologies to the health care industry.  I support the 0.05 ppm
standard that is being proposed in the California ARB regulation.


Recently, I wrote a White Paper on ozone and its public health
benefits in relation to infection control. A copy of that White
Paper has been provided for your consideration. I urge the ARB to
recognize the important public health benefits associated with low
levels of indoor ozone and to assure that the regulation allows for
proper testing and standardization of systems for indoor ozone
measurement.

Thank you,


Laurence Franken
