THE 1976 REPORTS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES ON THE CHLOROFLUOROCARBONOZINE PROBLEM

Report deals mainly with the chemistry, transport, modeling, and measurement of the chlorofluoromethanes (CFM's) released into the atmospher, particularly F-11 (CFC10) and F-12 (CF2C12), their photolysis products and subsequent reactions with stratospheric constituents which are thought to lead to ozone depletion. It presents in detail what was known up to the time of its publication about the world-wide production and release of various halocarbons, their possible removal processes in the troposphere (no appreciable ones found), transport to the stratosphere, photolysis to liberate chlorine atoms, and their catalytic destruction of ozone by chemical reactions which are investigated in laboratory experiments. /GMRL/
