Subject | Proposed Amendmts for Aerosol Coating Products |
Comment | I am writing in support of the proposed amendments to lower the VOC content in aerosol coatings products. Here is my experience as staff in a CUPA as well as the program manager for the Contra Costa Green Business Program: 1. Many shops are phasing out aerosols completely, finding adequate substitutes (particularly water-based brake cleaning). 2. Industry says this can't be done, the regulation passes, and then industry makes it happen. 3. IRTA, headed up by Katy Wolf, does impeccable research. They are practical, working with shops directly to identify possible, EFFECTIVE alternatives. They have done their homework and have found that the lower VOC alternatives work. If there are practical, effective alternatives that have already been proven, why wouldn't we go ahead and lower the allowable VOC levels according to staff proposed amendments??? I support the proposed amendments. Robin Bedell-Waite Green Business Program Coordinator Support: Amendments Lowering VOC Content in Aerosol Coatings |
