CC RESOLUTION 20170 a�
RESOLUTION NO. 2017
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA, URGING THE
ADOPTION OF LEGISLATION PROHIBITING USE OF
HARMFUL FUMES IN THE MANUFACTURE OF MODEL
GLUE AND RELATED SUBSTANCES WITHOUT THE
USE OF A REPELLENT ODOR DISCOURAGING THE
VOLUNTARY BREATHING OR INHALATION OF SUCH
FUMES.
WHEREAS, the practice of inhaling harmful fumes of pro-
ducts readily available to all, and particularly available to the youth
of our area, has resulted in an alarming amount of abuse, endanger-
ing health and imposing permanent injury to many; and
WHEREAS, the availability of such harmful fumes for in-
haling purposes could be removed by the use of other substances which
would not lend themselves to such abuse and through the use of addi-
tional substances which would be repulsive and preclude the abusive
use of the substances that have been the subject of inhalation; and
WHEREAS, a realistic solution and determination of the
outrageous practice of inhaling these harmful fumes readily can be
effected by proper regulatory legislative enactment;
NOW, THEREFORE THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA DOES FIND, DETERMINE AND RESOLVE
AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That the State Department of Public Health is
urged to initiate its investigation into all phases of the alarming practice
of inhaling glue fumes and other substances, with the ultimate purpose in
mind of eliminating from the manufacture of all products available to the
public, every element found to be harmful to human tissue, organs or
life upon breathing or inhaling the same, and requiring the addition, to
such substances that cannot be eliminated, a semi - offensive odor which
would repel the voluntary breathing and inhalation thereof.
SECTION 2. That the City Clerk is directed to send a certi-
fied copy of this resolution to each state and federal legislator represent-
-1-
ing the people of this community.
PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this 13th day of
