CFCs phase out
WEST GERMANY has announced it will become the first nation to completely ban the production, sale and use of chlorofluorocarbons, chemicals that destroy the earth’s essential ozone layer. By next year, CFCs will be gone from aerosol sprays and eliminated from all products, such as coolants and refrigerants, by 1995. The date is five years ahead of the target set by the Montreal Protocol, and four years ahead of New Zealand's stated goal.
