California Assembly votes down aerosols ban amid industry push
In Sacramento the Assembly rejected a bill by John Vasconcelos to ban fluorocarbon aerosols, citing 34 to 37 defeat and potential job losses. Opponents warned the regulation could cost hundreds of jobs and threaten a DuPont plant, while backers said science shows ozone and cancer risks. The measure would have banned manufacture and sale in March 1978 with exemptions for medical, refrigeration, and electronics uses.
