Volatile chemical products largest source of urban organic emissions
- Gibbon1 9y agoThis isn't really news in California. I remember fully twenty years ago bakeries bitching about air pollution rules. The air quality people were coming down on them for ethanol emissions from baking bread. Even before that Los Angles put heavy restrictions on auto paint shops use of solvent based lacquer. Other bit was that in Mexico City the largest source of VOC's was/used to be refilling propane tanks.

But the particular matter is really bad. No aircon filter in normal use is hospital grade. I don't think we're going to avoid this stuff except by stopping using it.
