Depletion of Stratospheric Ozone Layer by Chlorofluorocarbons

Takashi Ibusuki

Abstract

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and chlorinated hydrocarbons are believed to contribute to the depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer. This paper reviews recent knowledges on 1) mechanisms of ozone layer depletion and the Antarctic ozone hole phenomenon, 2) the scientific bases for determining the scenario of CFCs restriction, and 3) developing technologies for accomplishing the CFCs phase-out.
