IIR documentSummary
CFCS ARE ABLE TO REACH THE STRATOSPHERE WHERE THEY DECAY AND RELEASE CHLORINE. THIS CAUSES OZONE DEPLETION. CHLORINE LEVELS IN THE ATMOSPHERE HAVE INCREASED STEADILY AND SINCE THE MID-1980S HAVE CAUSED A MARKED REDUCTION IN STRATOSPHERIC OZONE OVER ANTARCTICA AND LESS DRAMATIC IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE. CFCS CONTRIBUTE A SIGNIFICANT PROPORTION OF MAN MADE GREENHOUSE GASES. THESE GASES, BY ALTERING THE RADIATIVE BALANCE OF THE ATMOSPHERE, ARE EXPECTED TO CAUSE ALTERATIONS TO GLOBAL WEATHER PATTERNS. THE CONSEQUENCES OF CLIMATE CHANGE COULD BE FAR REACHING.
