 "The Refrigerator
Revolution," E. Ayres, H. French, World Watch, pp. 15-21, Oct.
1996. (Contact Worldwatch Inst., 1776 Mass. Ave. NW, Washington DC 20036.)
The Greenfreeze refrigerator, developed in Germany a few years ago, uses a
hydrocarbon as a refrigerant and completely avoids the ozone depletion and
global warming problems associated with HFCs and HCFCs. It has become popular in
several countries but curiously, not in the U.S. This article tells how the
technology was developed, and how the story provides a new perspective on
reaching future environmental agreements.
Item #d96oct118
"Contraband in
the Stratosphere," V. Chase, Environ. Health Perspectives, pp.
1102-1104, Dec. 1995.
Discusses how the phaseout of CFCs has led to a thriving black market in
ozone-depleting chemicals. The impact on prices hurts the businesses that have
legitimately invested in CFC alternatives.
