IIRC California has passed a law banning perc, and as with most things as goes CA, goes the rest of the country. In most urbran areas like NYC one cannot open a new dry cleaning store using perc, and landlords are trying to get rid of the ones (if they can) that are already there. This has come about mainly from huge liability issues in terms of land/ground water contamination and the air in and round the plant. Pepole living in buildings several floors above dry cleaning stores have been tested and showed high levels of perc in their bodies, and even mother's milk from women living above/near dry cleaning stores contains perc. A quick peek in many dry cleaner's windows and you'll see certificates either from the state or EPA certifying someone in the plant is able to handle perc, and or the system being used conforms to modern standards.
