Evaluates the risks to human health and the environment posed by
the production and use of fully halogenated chlorofluorocarbons.
Eight different commercial compounds, some of which are known to
contribute to ozone depletion, are assessed. The opening section
summarizes the unique chemical and physical properties that account
for the commercial importance of chlorofluorocarbons and explain
why their degradation in the upper stratosphere destroys ozone.
Subsequent sections summarize data on the global distribution of
chlorofluorocarbons and evaluate the strength of evidence
suggesting that increased ultraviolet-B radiation, resulting from
ozone depletion, will endanger terrestrial and aquatic biota. The
report concludes that even small increases in ambient ultraviolet-B
exposure can result in significant ecosystem changes.
