In previous posts on this blog, I’ve covered the forced switch from the traditional CFC inhalers to the newer, supposedly more environmentally-friendly HFA inhalers. It’s all about the propellants in your inhalers and what they might be doing to the ozone layer.

One of them deals with the CFC to HFA issue in quite a bit of detail. I highly recommend you take a look:
