...of Stratospheric Ozone" by F. Sherwood Rowland Anita Cheek Moon 23 February 1998 The title of Rowland's work is self-descriptive, chlorofluorocarbons do play a role in the depletion of the stratospheric ozone. This depletion results in global warming and has the potential to dramatically affect our climate as we now know it. This paper was prepared by writers at ... Climatic changes could be disastrous in terms of species composition and distribution. The Rowland-Molina hypothesis, which associates the release of CFCs with ozone depletion, has found support in a number of subsequent scientific observations. One such observation was made in 1985 and noted a drastic reduction in ozone during the Antartic springtime. This phenomena, termed the "Antartic Ozone Hole" was probably the most significant observation to date which supported the Rowland-Molina hypothesis. There are numerous kinds of chlorofluorocarbons. Collectively they are known as CFCs. They are typically inert and volatile, transparent, and insoluble. CFCs are tremendously popular in many different uses including use as aerosol propellants, refrigerants, cleaning solvents (for electronic products), and...
