          ----------------------------------------------------------------------
          333-87965: Pollution Research and Control Corp. (the "Company") was
          ---------
          advised by several sources that, under Rule 462(b) of Regulation C
          under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), additional
          securities of the same class as the securities included in an earlier
          registration statement could be registered in a post-effective
          amendment to the registration statement so long as the maximum
          aggregate offering price thereof did not exceed 20% of the maximum
          aggregate offering price for the securities set forth in the
          "Calculation of Registration Fee" table contained in such earlier
          registration statement. Accordingly, on March 23, 2000, the Company
          filed Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (the "Amendment No. 1") to the
          Registration Statement on Form S-3, File No. 333-87965 (the
          "Registration Statement"), covering an aggregate of 150,000 shares of
          common stock, no par value per share (the "Common Stock"), of the
          Company, the maximum aggregate offering price of which shares
          ($817,190) did not exceed 20% of the maximum aggregate offering price
          of the shares of Common Stock ($4,116,400) set forth in the
          "Calculation of Registration Fee" table contained in the Registration
          Statement. The Registration Statement was filed with the Securities
          and Exchange Commission on September 28, 1999. The shares of Common
          Stock covered by the Amendment No. 1 included (i) 100,000 shares of
          Common Stock owned of record by Brittanica Associates Limited; (ii)
          25,000, 14,500, 14,500 and 10,000 shares of Common Stock underlying
          options owned of record by Mr. Anthony Reneau, Mr. Mike Hamdan, Ms.
          Paz Laroya and Mr. Robert Klein, respectively, and (iii) 45,000 shares
          of Common Stock underlying an 18%-$500,000 face amount subordinated
          convertible debenture due December 1, 1999, and a 12%-$300,000 face
          amount subordinated convertible debenture due June 1, 2000
          (collectively, the "Debentures"). Subsequent to the filing of the
          Amendment No. 1, the Company was verbally advised by the Commission
          that the only shares of Common Stock that were properly included
          therein were the 45,000 shares underlying the Debentures. Accordingly,
          on June 20, 2000, the Company filed the Post-Effective Amendment No. 2
          (the "Amendment No. 2") to the Registration Statement in order to
          properly register the 100,000 shares of Common Stock owned by
          Brittanica and the aggregate 64,000 shares of Common Stock underlying
          the options (collectively, the "Shares"). Subsequent to this filing,
          the Commission verbally advised the Company that the Shares could only
          be properly registered in a new Registration Statement on Form S-3.



          Thereafter, on October 26, 2000, the Company filed the Registration
          Statement on Form S-3, File No. 333-48554 (the "Form S-3"), covering a
          total of 1,725,788 shares of Common Stock, including the Shares. The
          Form S-3 did not include the shares of Common Stock underlying the
          Debentures because it was no longer necessary to register them. Based
          upon the foregoing, the Company hereby requests that the Amendments
          No. 1 and No. 2 be withdrawn as provided in Rule 477 of Regulation C
          under the Act and because such withdrawal would be consistent with the
          public interest and the protection of investors.

Date:  November 3, 2000               POLLUTION RESEARCH AND CONTROL CORP.
