Inhaler Dangerous for Health, Environment: FDA

[Guest guest]

The Food and Drug Administration is considering a ban of certain

over-the-counter asthma inhalers containing chlorofluorocarbons which have

been associated with harming the Earth's ozone layer. The FDA is also

considering information that suggests epinephrine, the active ingredient

found in asthma inhalers, can have potentially serious side effects on heart

and blood vessels, and can lead to increased blood pressure and

palpitations.

lol I'm more concerned how they affect us humans rather than harming the

Earth's ozone layer...etc.
