Their work was fundamental to the hypothesis that CFCs (commercial name Freon), which are four times denser than air, were carried to the lower stratosphere, where the
chlorine portion, which is indistinguishable from natural source
chlorine,
destroyed ozone.
Lab experiments by Sherwood and Molina in 1974 determined
chlorine as the active ingredient in chlorofluorocarbon that
destroys ozone.
If you knew the slightest thing about the problem with ozone
destroying chemicals, of which the chlorinated freons were prime culprits, you would know that they were a problem because they were supremely stable in the lower atmosphere (pure
chlorine not so at all), and were able to transport
chlorine to the ozone layer (unlike natural
chlorine compounds), whereupon UV light broke them down, released the
chlorine, starting a chain reaction
destroying the ozone.
It has since been proved, says Dr. Golubchikov, that
chlorine - containing Freon - 12
