While government enforcement of laws and regulations to control the
production of chloroflurocarbons in 1987 has been hailed as
exemplifying the precautionary principle, for almost two decades US
companies failed to take precautionary measures to prevent chemical
emissions, despite the probable risk of stratospheric ozone loss.
As a result, human harms in the form of skin cancer have reached
epidemic proportions globally and in the United States where,
today, one person dies every hour from skin cancer. This book
reviews U.S. laws, regulations, and policies, as well as case law
regarding similar toxic tort cases to consider whether companies
can and should be held legally liable under tort common law
theories and related tort justice theories for having contributed
to increased risks of skin cancer.
