Two unregulated chemicals in China have more than doubled since 2010, and scientists say their ozone-depleting punch could soon top HCFCs

A new study reveals these unregulated gases could soon rival the ozone-depleting impact of HCFCs in China. While technological upgrades offer partial solutions, international regulations may be needed to address this growing threat to Earth’s protective shield.
