Comment | Effective automotive maintenance provides very significant benefits to consumers through improved automotive safety, extending vehicle and part life spans, minimizing automotive air emissions, and lowering energy use. Proper vehicle system maintenance is absolutely essential to maintaining the proper wear of automotive parts like brakes, carburetors, engines, and others. We are 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 damage the ability to effectively clean and maintain vehicles and their parts. We are also concerned that the ARB has not considered the potential hazards that may be caused by residues on brake parts automotive, or the safety benefits of effective brake maintenance, replacement, and repair. Therefore, we are asking the ARB to reconsider its 10% VOC standards and finally consider a compromise that would not endanger effective maintenance of automobiles in California. |
