Should the Government Monitor the Usage of Aerosols? BY: WESLEY STEEL

Government Entity  Gina McCarthy!!!!!!!!!!!

Why would they ???  Although they no longer contain CFC’s (chlorofluorocarbons), They do still contain VOC’s or volatile organic compounds which do contribute to the leaking of ozone into the Troposphere.  All the while developing countries are using cfc propelled aerosols. But hey, that’s not our business.

What Threat Do They Pose??  Well, global warming being the hot button topic that it is this has to have its hand in there too.  As stated previously, VOC’s do leak ozone into the troposphere.  These VOC’s are in aerosols today in America.

The facts!  Aerosols can affect the Earth temperately in two ways.  One way is directly, in which the sunlight is deflected directly off the particle and into space. This causes significant temperature differences.  The other way is indirectly. This way is when the matter gets mixed up in the cloud formation process. This causes the clouds to reflect and absorb at different rates.  When aerosols absorb other pollutants, they can enter body’s of water and pollute that as well.  Aerosols also come from non-human sources too such as volcanoes and sea salt.

So what????????  We need to take care of the Earth.  These less dangerous aerosols sprays still have their down sides we can work with.  As things get worse we’ve just got to adapt, whether it be by fixing the problem, or band-aid solution.

Call to action!!!!  We are the next generation!  Our predecessors are always saying it, we are going to solve the problems they made, this is one of them.  If you find interest and this is your thing, fire away and get all those government grants.  We can use less air sprays if we must too.
