Abstract
The world production and consumption of CFCs from refrigerants, aerosols, and cleaning and blowing agents are estimated along with the use and photochemical ozone-creation potential of major non-CFC chemicals to assess their effects on global warming, stratospheric O sub(3) depletion, and tropospheric O sub(3) creation. Based on literature survey data, it is shown that emissions from aerosol products have had adverse effects on stratospheric O sub(3) over the past decade and will continue to adversely affect the environment due to their slow decay of atmospheric chlorine already present. As CFC production is phased out by the year 2010, their effects on global warming and stratospheric O sub(3) depletion will be significantly reduced.
