The hydrofluorocarbon, CH{sub 3}CHF{sub 2}, also referred to as HFC-152a, is being considered by the chemical industry for a variety of potential uses, including as a refrigerant, aerosol propellant, and foam blowing agent Many of these uses of HFC-152a will be as replacements for chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) such as CFC-11 and CFC-12 that are of concern because of their effects on stratospheric ozone and on climate. The purpose of this paper is to review the current scientific understanding of the potential for HFC-152a to have an impact on the atmospheric environment, with emphasis on the potential effects on global ozone and climate.
