Study of Emissions and Control of Stratospheric Ozone-Depleting Compounds inCalifornia. Executive Summary

摘要

The objective of the project is to compile data and analyses for the AirResources Board (ARB) that will allow the Board and its staff to understand and assess the full range of issues regarding emissions of stratospheric ozone-depleting compounds (ODCs) and their control. The ODCs of interest in the study are the fully halogenated chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs); the partially-halogenated chlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs); the bromine-containing halon compounds; methyl chloroform; and carbon tetrachloride. These compounds are currently the focus of national and international control efforts. The report presents: (1) U.S. and California ODC emissions inventories for 1990 and 2005 that reflect current and expected future restrictions on ODC production, use and emissions; (2) detailed descriptions of the technologies available for reducing ODC use and emissions; and (3) summaries of current federal, state, and local legislation and regulations affecting ODC use and emissions.
