Abstract
Emissions of organic solvents to the atmosphere of Los Angeles County are currently estimated at 600 tons per day. In order to reduce these emissions, Rule 66 was enacted on July 28, 1966, after more than a year of joint effort by industry and the APCD.
This paper explains the provisions of the rule, describes how its enforcement will affect industry and the entire community, and discusses the methods being utilized by industry to bring its various operations into compliance.
The unique approach, or philosophy, upon which this rule is based is compared with that of representative types among the many which comprise the Rules and Regulations of the Air Pollution Control District.
