Action alert: global ozone layer at risk from California Legislature.  Calls 
needed immediately.  

The California Senate is preparing to grant a four year extension to the 
deadline for study and release of birth defect data for the chemicals methyl 
bromide and PCP.  SB 808 will allow the continued release of 20 million pounds 
of toxic methyl bromide for another four years without release of health impact 
data.  Most legislators do not know that methyl bromide is also a powerful ozone
depleter responsible for increased skin cancers and reduced agricultural 
productivity worldwide.  Health impact data was required in 1984 legislation, 
but industry has dragged their feet, and now want an extension to 1998!!  Labor 
and environmental communities oppose SB 808.  Tell these legislators to kill SB 
808 in their committee.
