| Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to identify technically feasible substitute chemicals and/or alternative methods of delivering the goods and services presently provided through the use of the five commercial chlorofluorocarbons FC-11, -12, -13, -113, and -114. This study did not involve an assessment of the risks associated with environmental discharge of these chemicals. For the purposes of this study, recovery and/or recycling were not to be considered as eligible alternatives. Four categories currently account for 99% of the usage of these compounds. These areas are: refrigeration and air conditioning, aerosol propellants, plastic foam blowing agents, and cleaning and drying applications. In addition to these four areas, the Rankine Cycle engine was considered as it appears to have potential for expanding future consumption of chlorofluorocarbons. Limited evaluations were made on the direct economic consequences which could result from a reduction or elimination of chlorofluorocarbon consumption in each of the current use areas. |
