aerosol cans?

Question

what are the alternatives for CFCs as propellants in aerosol cans??? the effectiveness of each in the marketplace and are they still in use? any peroblem with them?

Answer 1

The importance and function of ozone, and the repurcussions of its destruction will also be dealt with in the fututre. Research shows that hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), one group of substitutes for CFCs still present a risk of ozone depletion because they contain chlorine. The government and other organizations, such as Greenpeace, have been searching for better alternatives for several years, in response to the Montreal Protocol and other legislation passed in order to phase out the use of CFCs.

Answer 2

There was no problem with CFC in the first place . U want to get me to believe that the CFC molecules just wander around this world until picnic time comes around and all go to the south pole to eat a hold in the ozone layer? The ozone layer is too high the CFC would never get there it is too heavy.

Answer 3

The food grade nitrus oxide as mentioned above is metabolized and released from the body so fast that it can't hurt you (unless, of course, you are personally allergic to the stuff).

We don't need propellants for aerosol cans. Squirt bottles are just as effective and easier to control.

Yes, there are still problems with aerosol cans.

"CDC: Common Household Products Could be Increasing Asthma Rates.
Increasing asthma rates will lead to even higher health care costs.

If chemical-laden cleaning products are contributing to increased asthma rates in children and higher health-care costs, maybe people should consider switching to natural, non-toxic cleaning solutions.

Here's my favorite quote:
"Cleaning compounds are generally just tested to make sure that they don't kill people or cause cancer," noted Dr. David Rosenstreich, director of the division of allergy and immunology in the department of medicine at Montefiore Medical Center and Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City.
"But, these products may not be safe for asthmatics to breathe in. And, if it's not safe for asthmatics, it's probably not safe for anyone else," he said."

Considering asthma rates, and attack occurances are becoming increasingly more severe, we should all make sure to inform everyone we know about the dangers of aerosol cleaning products, room sprays, hair sprays and other products in aerosol cans.
