Abstract
Like many other neighborhood businesses, such as the local bakery, auto body shop and photo finishing lab, dry cleaners nearly always have fewer than 20 employees. And yet, like these other small businesses, dry cleaners generate significant toxic or hazardous wastes. In the past, their small size has shielded them from many environmental regulations, but with the 1990 amendments to the Clean Air Act, small businesses like these faced for the first time the same environmental responsibilities as large industries. Working with the EPA and private research and technology companies, dry cleaners now use more efficient processes that generate less emissions and hazardous wastes.
