Model calculates ozone depletion from hydrofluorocarbons, indicating minimal impact from CF(3) group.

This research aims to assess whether hydrofluorocarbons, particularly those containing CF(3), significantly affect stratospheric ozone levels.
Measured rate coefficients for key reactions involving CF(3) radicals.
Developed a model to calculate ozone depletion potential based on these reactions.
The ozone depletion potentials associated with CF(3) in hydrofluorocarbons were found to be negligibly small.

Ravishankara et al. (1994) studied this question.
