HYDROCHLOROFLUOROCARBON, 22, 142B, 152a • Propellants and refrigerants derived from chlorofluorocarbon, any of several compounds composed of carbon, fluorine, chlorine, and hydrogen. Though they are safer than many propellant gases, their use has diminished because of suspected effects on stratospheric ozone. HYDROCORTISONE • An adrenal gland (see) corticosteroid (see) hormone introduced in 1952, used to decrease severe inflammation, as an adjunctive treatment for ulcerative colitis and proctitis, for shock, and to treat adrenal insufficiency.

Note: Depletion of the ozone layer in the stratosphere, which acts as a shield against penetration of UV (ultraviolet) light in the sun's rays, is believed to be caused by light-induced chlorofluorocarbon decomposition resulting from increased use of halocarbon aerosol propellants. Their manufacture and use were prohibited in 1979, except for a few specialized items. chlorofluorocarbon use is being phased out for all home and automobile air conditioners. Synonyms: CAS: 10028-15-6 ? OZON (POLISH) ?

EPA Retreats on Ozone Crisis 1994 SYNOPSIS: Since the United States banned chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) aerosols in the late 1970s, increasing evidence has revealed that both the destruction of the ozone layer and the resulting dangers to human health and the ecosystem are far more serious than scientists had first recognized. The ozone hole over Antarctica has continued to grow every year since its discovery in 1985 and damage to the ozone layer over heavily populated areas of the Northern Hemisphere has also been increasing rapidly.

Among its current requirements: reducing 1988-level chlorofluorocarbon emissions 20 percent by 1993 and 50 percent by 1999; industry efforts to reduce emissions of 189 toxic chemicals by 90 percent between 1995 and 2003, using the best available technology; the sale of at least 150,000 electric vehicles in California by 1996; the introduction of cleaner-burning gasoline in American cities with the dirtiest air; and emissions reductions for diesel truck, automobiles, and coal-burning power plants. The National Environmental Policy Act, 1970.

One participant at the October 1989 EPA conference on chlorofluorocarbon and halon substitutes raised the question of substitutes causing other climate changes, such as acid rain. The substitution of one set of industrial chemicals that destroy the ozone layer for another set of chemicals that are toxic to humans or potentially harmful to climate is myopic. We want alternatives that are safe. WHAT YOU CAN DO /. Put the Pressure on Industry. In the United States, five companies manufacture CFCs and three companies make halons.

Together, Tables 12.1 and 12.2 show at a glance the chemicals and chemical products we use that destroy atmospheric ozone. Refrigerants in air conditioners and refrigeration account for the highest single U.S. use of CFCs; aerosols account for the highest 1ft single European use; and solvents, primarily for the electronics industry, constitute the major single Japanese use. Consumption rates are much less in the rest of the world; a U.S. person consumes six times the global average of CFCs per person.

EPA and the Alliance for Responsible CFC Policy. At this same conference, General Motors announced its goal of replacing CFC-12 (commonly called R-12) in air conditioners with an alternative chemical by 1994 model year. Mobile air conditioners emit more than three times as much CFC gas as do home and commercial refrigerators. Although the gas is sealed in cooling units, many mobile units lose R-12 from SAVING THE OZONE LAYER: CONTACT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT Write President Bush. Remind him of his campaign promise to phase out CFCs and other ozone-depleting chemicals.
