The proposal could allow the EPA to pursue investigations where distributors or other sellers of
chlorofluorocarbons attempt to sell virgin
chlorofluorocarbons in the domestic market knowing they were imported into the U.S.
As a signatory, Bangladesh is committed to phasing out hydro
chlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) and other ozone depleting substances.
Air conditioning system is considered to be a major contributor to global warming, owing to its emission of hazardous gases into the environment such as
chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) and hydro-chlorofluorocarbons (HCFC).
On the 1st of January, 2010, Bahrain announced a ban on all
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) which were replaced by other suitable alternative items.
The protocol was adopted in the late 1980s in response to studies showing CFC-11 and similar gases, collectively known as
chlorofluorocarbons, depleted atmospheric ozone.
The reasons why such a fatal extinction awaits our way are namely; Deforestation, use of
chlorofluorocarbons, excessive release of carbon dioxide, wild fires, industrialization, combustion of methane, volcanic eruptions and depletion of the ozone layer.
Implemented in 1989, it banned ozone-depleting chemicals called
chlorofluorocarbons worldwide.
The most prominent of these programs were
chlorofluorocarbons (CFC), carbon tetrachloride (CTC), Halons, methyl bromide and phasing out of CFCs from Metered Dose Inhalers (MDIs).
Iqbal P Sheikh, UNIDO consultant gave a detailed presentation on contribution of Pakistan in meeting the international targets of Montreal Protocol and phasing out
chlorofluorocarbons and the strategy made to phase out the hydro
chlorofluorocarbons carbons (HCFC).
ISLAMABAD -- Environmental experts on Wednesday termed rapid increase of greenhouse gases (
Chlorofluorocarbons) as a major cause of rising temperature in the federal capital.
Summary:
Chlorofluorocarbons are being used as coolants since the last more than fifty years, and their increasing concentration in atmosphere causes the ozone layer depletion, therefore to develop a sensor for detection of
chlorofluorocarbons is environmentally significant.
