Subject | Adopt a Strong Regulation, Reduce VOCs in Consumer Products |
Comment | I encourage you to strongly reduce the harmful toxics and smog-forming emissions found in consumer products such as multipurpose solvents and paint thinners. 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 emitted by products 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 multi-purpose solvents and paint thinners only increase the chances that they endure more frequent attacks or develop asthma in the future. Furthermore, workers may experience an increased risk of liver and kidney damage and cancer from the daily use of these products. As a consumer and concerned citizen, I urge the California Air Resources Board to adopt tough regulations on these products. Please take this opportunity to protect the health of our families by significantly reducing the harmful toxics and smog-forming emissions that emanate from Multi-purpose Solvents and Paint Thinners. Thank you. |
