"A toxic solvent still widely used by dry cleaners across Washoe County could be banned within 14 years under plans proposed by health officials. On Thursday, the county's Board of Health will consider rules that would prohibit use of perchloroethylene, also known as PCE or PERC, by area cleaners by 2023. Any new cleaning equipment purchased before then and after the rule's potential adoption Thursday would have to use alternative technology."
