ozone-layer & FCKW



Hi!

(First: FCKW ("Fluorchlorierte Kohlenwasserstoffe") are those
substances we use in refrigerators and air-conditioners like
=46REON (C Cl2 F2) - how do YOU call them?

One of my students wrote: "1 molecule of FREON can destroy up to
10^6 molecules O3".(I don't know his source yet). Is this a
realistic number?
Bye, bye
