Stratospheric sink for chlorofluoromethanes: chlorine atom-catalysed destruction of ozone
Open accessAbstract
Chlorofluoromethanes are being added to the environment in steadily increasing amounts. These compounds are chemically inert and may remain in the atmosphere for 40–150 years, and concentrations can be expected to reach 10 to 30 times present levels. Photodissociation of the Chlorofluoromethanes in the stratosphere produces significant amounts of chlorine atoms, and leads to the destruction of atmospheric ozone.

“Research demonstrating the critical role chlorine played in the atmospheric chemistry of Venus (Prinn, 1971; McElroy et al., 1973) preceded our understanding of chlorine's critical role in the depletion of stratospheric ozone in Earth's atmosphere (Molina and Rowland, 1974; Stolarski and Cicerone, 1974).”

In the citing paper
“In the 1980s, a sequence of globally noted environmental disasters (Bhopal 1984;Chernobyl 1986;Schweizerhalle 1986); atmospheric physicists' warnings about the Earth system's ozone hole (Molina and Rowland 1974); and rising concerns about global pollution and warming (Broecker 1975) launched the foundations of environmental agencies and departments worldwide (G1).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
