Unexpected nascent atmospheric emissions of three ozone-depleting hydrochlorofluorocarbons [Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences]

Global and regional atmospheric measurements and modeling can play key roles in discovering and quantifying unexpected nascent emissions of environmentally important substances. We focus here on three hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) that are restricted by the Montreal Protocol because of their roles in stratospheric ozone depletion. Based on measurements of archived air...
