- bombs or blessings? Aerosol cans have capture the approval of John Q. Public for their easy application of ready-to-use products. “And,” reported R.H. Gruenhagen, a Virginia Tech professor and Extension specialist in chemicals, drugs and pesticides, “the average American realizes the aerosol can may be a blessing or a bomb.” Gruenhagen told of a recent industry survey indicating 2.6 billion aerosol or pressurized containers were filled in 1970. Personal and household products lead the list. Also available in pressure cans were paints, other coatings, industrial products, pesticide sprays and foods. ... “The 2.6 billion aerosol containers filled during 1970 provide roughly a dozen containers for every man, woman and child in the United States,” Gruenhagen said. “The cans can be either bombs or blessings. They are time savers. But, by their very nature, they are potential hazards. “If it is to work, an aerosol container must be under pressure. And anything under pressure can explode if its is mishandled,” declared the specialist.
