Chlorofluorocarbons - Miscellaneous Requirements - Health & Safety - CA

Section § 119150

This law prohibits the manufacture and sale of certain products with a specific type of aerosol propellant known as saturated chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) without hydrogen. From October 15, 1978, these CFCs cannot be manufactured for use in aerosol cans in California. From December 15, 1978, manufacturing of containers meant to use these CFCs is banned. From April 15, 1979, selling any container using these CFCs is also prohibited.

(a) On and after October 15, 1978, no person shall manufacture in this state a saturated chlorofluorocarbon not containing hydrogen for use as an aerosol propellant in a can, canister, or other container.

(b) On and after December 15, 1978, no person shall manufacture in this state any can, canister, or other container that is intended to utilize an aerosol propellant chemically composed, in whole or in part, of a saturated chlorofluorocarbon not containing hydrogen.

(c) On and after April 15, 1979, no person shall sell in this state any can, canister, or other container that utilizes an aerosol propellant chemically composed, in whole or in part, of a saturated chlorofluorocarbon not containing hydrogen.

Section § 119155

This law allows the manufacture or sale of saturated chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) that don’t contain hydrogen for uses that are exempt under current or future federal regulations. It means that even if other parts of the chapter limit these activities, this specific allowance remains in place as long as federal rules permit it.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this chapter, nothing in this chapter shall preclude the manufacture or sale of saturated chlorofluorocarbons not containing hydrogen for any of the uses exempted in currently proposed federal regulations, to be modified as the federal regulations are modified.

Section § 119160

This section explains that two specific parts of an earlier law (Section 119150) will no longer apply if a new federal law or regulation is created that bans the making of aerosol products using certain types of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) without hydrogen. It specifically refers to CFCs used as a propellant in aerosol cans or containers.

Subdivisions (a) and (b) of Section 119150 shall be superseded by the enactment or adoption of any federal law or regulation prohibiting the manufacture of any aerosol product utilizing saturated chlorofluorocarbons not containing hydrogen and prohibiting the manufacture of saturated chlorofluorocarbons not containing hydrogen for use as an aerosol propellant in a can, canister, or other container.
