B. that available scientific information indicates a substantial possibility that fluoroalkanes, a major component of certain aerosol spray products, when discharged into the atmosphere, dissipate or impair the earth's protective layer of ozone; that the dissipation or impairment of even a small portion of the ozone layer is likely to decrease the screening of ultraviolet radiation; that any significant increase in human exposure to ultraviolet radiation is likely to increase the risk of skin cancer and other serious illness; that any significant increase in exposure of the environment to ultraviolet radiation may endanger the environment; and that therefore, the release of these aerosol spray products into the atmosphere is a significant hazard to the public health, safety and welfare of the citizens, and future citizens, of this state.
