Résumé

In 1985, ~ 1.54 billion lbs of chemicals which potentially deplete stratospheric ozone were produced by the USA. These chemicals were chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), halons, carbon tetrachloride and methyl chloroform. Roughly 40 % of the total production of these ozone-depleting substances, or 580 million lbs of CFC, were used in energy-related applications, namely as the working fluid in refrigeration equipment and mobile air conditioners, or as the blowing agent in foam insulations. When the production of these chemicals is weighted by their ozone depletion potential, energy-related applications again accounted for ~ 40% of the potential risk to the environment. Refrigeration, mobile air conditioning and foam insulation were all found to contribute fairly evenly to the ozone depletion problem.
