The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 require that use of Class I chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) which deplete the ozone layer be phased out by 1996. Freon 113 (trichlororfluorethane) is a Class I CFC that is required by present US EPA wastewater and solid waste methods for measurement of the conventional pollutant, oil and grease. The report provides the results of Phase I of EPA's study to replace Freon 113 in the determination of oil and grease.
