Last week the vulnerability of the ozone layer was emphasized by two startling reports on the long-range effects of the propellant gases used in aerosol sprays. Writing in Science, University of Michigan Physicist Ralph Cicerone notes that spray-can gases, mostly chlorine compounds such as Freon, are highly stable under ordinary circumstances. Thus they are building up in the lower atmosphere and gradually rising toward the ozone layer. At that altitude, ultraviolet radiation breaks down Freon and the other chlorine-based gases, causing the release of chlorine atoms. They in turn react with ozone, converting it into ordinary oxygen...
