Aggregated data reported by companies on the import, export, production, destruction and feedstock and process agent use of ozone-depleting substances in the European Union.
Chemisch synthetisierte Stoffe, welche die Ozonschicht schädigen, werden ozonabbauende Substanzen (ODS) genannt. Es handelt sich hierbei um halogenierte Chemikalien, zu denen unter anderem die Fluorchlorkohlenwasserstoffe (FCKW), teilhalogenierte Fluorchlorkohlenwasserstoffe (HFCKW), Halogenkohlenwasserstoffe (Halone) und bestimmte andere Stoffe gehören.
Anwendung
Inventories on F-gases, ODS and alternatives
Ozone-depleting substances (ODS) are man-made chemicals that damage the ozone layer. ODS include chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrofluorochlorocarbons (HCFCs), halons, and certain other gases.
