Jalopnik; California Wants to Ban Chrome Plating

It's also a place with a huge economy that let's them study things like lawnmower emissions and sound pollution. That combined with a large population with areas of high density means some dumb stuff makes sense for them that doesn't make sense elsewhere. Some of the dumb gets suffered by areas of the state where it doesn't make sense, but that's life in CA..

Great points. Also, stationary sources in CA are generally regulated by the local air districts in the state. Some districts' "prohibitory rules" are more stringent than others and are generally based localized ambient air quality. But when it comes to pollutants deemed "toxic air contaminants," such as hex chrome, that's when the state and feds step in.
