CHEMISTRY AND RADIATION CHANGES IN THE OZONE LAYER Halogenated Hydrocarbons (Halocarbons) and their Impact on Stratospheric Ozone

摘要

Stratospheric Ozone depletion is largely due to chlorine and bromine radicals released from halogenated hydrocarbons. This paper describes properties, emission histories and budgets of relevant substances and outlines the pertinent photochemical processes, along with a comprehensive presentation of halocarbon measurements and global distributions.
