CFC
Three key ingredients in Polar Ozone Loss1. CFCs as source of catalyst, CFCs Cl radicals2. Sunlight3. Surface for heterogeneous reactions

How does ozone form in the stratosphere / what controls the concentration
Ozone is produced when an oxygen molecule and an oxygen atom combine:
O2 + O + M O3 + M
The source of the oxygen atom in the stratosphere is photolysis of O2:
O2 + hn O + O
So the basic series of reactions involving ozone in the are:
1. O2 + hn O + O2. O2 + O + M O3 + M3. O3 + hn O2 + O4. O3 + O O2 + O2

Possible Explanation for Major Ozone Loss- Refrigerants, CFCs Cl radicalsA catalytic cycle involves chlorine
Cl + O3 ClO + O2
ClO + O Cl + O2
O3 + hn O2 + O2O3 + hn 3O2
Eventually, Cl is “tied up” in reservoir species that do not participate in reactions involving O3
Cl + CH4 HCl + CH3ClO + NO2 + M ClONO2 + M

Banning of CFCs
• 1987 Montreal Protocol
• 1990 London Agreement
• 1992 Copenhagen Amendments

Susan Solomon, senior scientist with the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration
• Solomon expects a full recovery of the ozone hole by 2060. But, she cautions, a lot of work must be done to reach that goal. "I think that it is very important to make sure that we actually measure ozone not only not getting any worse, but actually starting to improve to make sure that the actions that we have taken internationally have been effective."
• CFCs are long-lived and remain in the atmosphere for 50 to 200 years. But with global phase-out efforts, Solomon expects to see signs of a reduction in the ozone hole within a decade. Her job, she says, is to measure that process.
