Since the Industrial Revolution the chemical composition of the
atmosphere has changed at a rate unprecedented in recent history.
Ozone depletion emerged as one of the most important environmental
issues of the 20th century as evidence grew for substantial human
influences on the atmospheric ozone abundances over much of the
globe. The science of the ozone layer and its interactions with
halogenated chemical compounds are the primary subjects of this
