The role of chlorine in stratospheric chemistry
Abstract: The chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are industrial chemicals used as solvents, refriger-ants, plastic foam blowing agents, etc. These compounds are eventually released to the environ-ment; they slowly drift into the stratosphere, where they decompose, initiating a catalytic proc-ess involving c...
