I read it. Theyโre banning VOC in spray cans, as if aerosol cans are suddenly to blame for smog. More political noise to appease the uneducated while accomplishing nothing of substance. Look at the shiny birdy, kids, and pay no mind to the industrial processes behind the curtain.
We already played this game in the 80s, when hair spray was supposedly causing the hole in the ozone layer. Look where it got us.
A shrinking ozone hole? https://www.nasa.gov/esnt/2022/ozone-hole-continues-shrinking-in-2022-nasa-and-noaa-scientists-say
You think that's a bad thing?
I don't understand this. Where did it get us?
Guess we got no hair spray?
Their logic is the same as "cigarettes are fine because other things cause lung cancer too". Guess they would rather see everything banned all at once or nothing at all.
