Restrictions on the Production and Consumption of CFC‐113—An Update

C. H. Lea

Open publisher page 6 citations

Abstract

An earlier paper gave the background to the rôle of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in the observed depletion of the Earth's stratospheric ozone, plus details of the Montreal Protocol that restricts the production and consumption of CFCs. In this paper, recent data on both the ozone depletion and the global greenhouse warming that result from CFC emissions are given. The progress by the chemical companies to identify replacements for CFCs is also discussed.
