The bromine in methyl bromide is 50 times more efficient at destroying ozone than the chlorine in chloroflurocarbons (CFCs), the best known ozone-depleting compounds, which once had a wide range of industrial applications (See "The Refrigerator Revolution," September/October 1996). Price said companies which continue to use materials with ozone-depleting compounds will have to follow the lower limits.
