A hearing on the environmental implications of ozone layer depletion over the Antarctic and other areas of the globe brought testimony from representatives of industry, space and climate research personnel, chemists, the Department of Commerce, and environmental groups and agencies. The area of most concern was predictions of increased skin cancers, eye cataracts, suppression of human immune systems, as well as reduced agricultural yields and plankton growth. The witnesses reviewed the findings of recent studies by the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Aeronautical and Space Agency and appropriate international responses to control the release of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) 11 and 12 into the atmosphere. Industry spokesmen argued that there are no substitutes for CFCs in some processes. Material submitted for the record follows the testimony of the 14 witnesses.
