Do Hydrofluorocarbons Destroy Stratospheric Ozone?

Ravishankara, A. R., Turnipseed, Andrew A., Jensen, Niels R., Barone, Stephen, Mills, Michael, Howard, Carleton J., Solomon, Susan·1994·Science

Abstract

Hydrofluorocarbons, many of which contain a CF 3 group, are one of the major substitutes for the chlorofluorocarbons and halons that are being phased out because they contribute to stratospheric ozone depletion. It is critical to ensure that CF 3 groups do not cause significant ozone depletion. The rate coefficients for the key reactions that determine the efficiency of the CF 3 radical as a catalyst for ozone loss in the stratosphere have been measured and used in a model to calculate the possible depletion of ozone. From these results, it is concluded that the ozone depletion potentials related to the presence of the CF 3 group in hydrofluorocarbons are negligibly small.

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.
