MAY CAUSE

Scientists warn

spraysi
ATLANTIC CITY (P) - The
propellant used in aerosol spray
cans is collecting in the earth's
atmosphere, scientists warned
yesterday. They said it could
reduce the protective ozone lev-
el and result in an increase in
human skin cancer.
.The' Naval Research Labora-
tory (NRL) scientists said ex-
tensive surveys by ships and
aircraft have shown that the

contaminate air

manmade chemicals, called 11
fluorocarbons, are present in
the atmosphere over both pop-
ulated lands and remote areas i
of the world.
"THE HIGHLY biostable
chemical," NRL said, "widely{
used in aid conditioners and re-
frigeration systems and as an
aerosol propellant for spray
paints, deodorants, hair sprays
and insecticides, has apparent-
ly been traveling, invisible and
unnoticed, on circulating air
currents to"virtually all portions
of the globe."
The presence of this chemi-
cal in the atmosphere poses a!

threat to the layer of strato-
spheric ozone which shields the
earth from much of the sun's
ultraviolet radiation, said Dr.{
F. Sherwood Rowland of the
University of California.
IF THE ozone level is reduc-
ed, he said, the increased
amount of ultraviolet radiation
reaching the earth could result
in an increase in the incidence
of human skin cancer.
"If we keep on putting Reon,
a trade name for the chemical,
into the atmosphere at the pre-
sent rate," Rowland said, "then
.50 years aheadbthe ozone
would be reduced by 10 per
cent."{

100 officials to
discuss possible
utility rate hike
WASHINGTON (A)-Treasury Secretary William Simon and
other federal officials reportedly plan to urge state public
utility commissioners today to speed up action on rate in-
crease requests from electric utilities.
The gist of the message from federal officials will be that
electric utilities need higher, rates to cover their increased
costs, a Treasury Department source said.
A Treasury spokesperson said nearly 100 state public utility
commissioners would attend.
ALTHOUGH THE Treasury first said the meeting would be
closed to the press and public, it reversed itself yesterday
and decide to admit the press and some consumer representa-
tives.
The reversal came after several consumer groups criticized
a closed meeting on an issue that could result in higher elec-
tric rates for consumers.
The Treasury had not made any public announcement on the
meeting, although it was mentioned in a calendar of events
at the federal Power Commission where the meeting will be
held this afternoon.
"The decision to close the meeting was never really final
ized," said a Treasury spokesperson, although he acknowledged
the decision to open the meeting was not made until after
protests were received.
ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS, led by Simon, have said re-
peatedly that the nation's electrical utilities are unable to
get rate increases fast enough from state public utilities com-
missions to cover their rising costs of operation.
Simon has said that as a result, public utilities are short
of investment capital to meet future energy needs.
Several consumer-oriented groups, including the Environ-
mental Action Foundation of Washington, sent a letter to Simon
on Friday asking that consumer representatives algo be heard
at the meeting.
BUT FOUNDATION representative Richard Morgan said a
Simon aide responded that the meeting would be closed and
that consumer groups and the general public could make their
views on utility rates known at a meeting to be sponsored
by the Federal Energy Administration on Sept. 19 and 20.
