THE RESPONSE OF INDUSTRIES IN REPLACING CFCS

A. YOGAMOORTHI

Abstract

CFCs were developed in the late 1920s as an answer to the home refrigerator business. In 1940s they become the dominant refrigerant helping make wide spread acceptance of household refrigeration possible. During 1950 - 1970s, CFCs found their place in a wide spectrum of application. But the turning point occurred only after the Bristish Investigator identified the hole in the starts sphere ozone layer over Antarctica and simultaneous research on the reaction behind the Ozone depletion, prompted the whole world to find out an alternative to replace the highly effective zone depletion substances that are derived from CFC. This article looks into the various achievements made internationally in replacing CFCs through different substitutes with relatively lesser effect on the stratospheric ozone layer.
