Abstract
The emissions of man-made carbon tetrachloride and the rates of its removal from the atmosphere by natural sinks are evaluated. A large fraction, perhaps all of the carbon tetrachloride observed in the atmosphere, could be man-made, and carbon tetrachloride is a global atmospheric pollutant.This publication has 21 references indexed in Scilit:
