The Amish intend to re-use the parts, not re-build the structure. Letter to the editor Aerosols not dangerous information group says THE EDITOR, The “ 'Clean' cleaning alterna­ tives” article in the May 29 edition of your paper included misinforma­ tion about aerosols. The item suggested consumers “Avoid aerosol products; mist par­ ticles can enter the blood stream. Use pump or spray bottles.” The particle size of the spray from most aerosols is too coarse for more than transient retention in the lung before being removed from the pulmonary system by the body's natural cleaning mechanism. Bronchial inhalers and dilators are the one exception. They've been designed specifically to deliver pre­ scribed drugs to he lungs using a very small particle size. Aerosol products are carefully formulated and tested to ensure that consumers achieve simply and safely the desired results. The cau­ tion raised is unfounded. Further, the aerosol delivery sys­ tem offers consumers many advan­ tages. First, the containers are designed to dispense products in a highly efficient way: the amount of product needed can be applied directly to the area where it's need­ ed. The net result is that each con­ tainer yields more applications. Second, because the aerosol package is hermetically scaled, it's tamper-proof and the contents can't leak, spill, evaporate or become contaminated by bacteria. Few, if any, aerosol alternatives offer these benefits. The aerosol industry has continu­ ally demonstrated its commitment to environmental issues. It reacted quickly and voluntarily to scien­ tists' concerns about the effect of CFCs on the stratospheric ozone layer and began removing CFCs from aerosols in 1975 - some 16 years ago. Today, 95 per cent of all aerosols are CFC-free, and the remaining few are medical and/or industrial products exempted by law. Aerosols continue to offer con­ sumers a preferred delivery system for many applications.
