The stratospheric ozone layer absorbs much of the Sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiation.

02

How can CFCs and HCFCs deplete stratospheric ozone?

Back

UV light can break down CFCs and HCFCs in the stratosphere, releasing chlorine atoms that destroy ozone. CFCs generally have high ODP; HCFCs have lower, but nonzero, ODP.

03
Front

What does global warming potential (GWP) compare?

Back

GWP compares a gas’s heat-trapping effect with carbon dioxide over a specified period.

04
Front

Does zero ODP mean a refrigerant has no climate impact?

Back

No. A refrigerant can have zero ODP but still have high GWP and contribute to climate impacts.

05
