The principal photochemical atmospheric characteristics of halons 1201 (CHF{sub 2}Br), 2401 (CHFBR-CF{sub 3}), 2301 (CH{sub 2}Br-CF{sub 3}), and 2311 (CHClBr-CF{sub 3}), including the rate constants of the reaction of the halons with hydroxyl radicals, the absorption cross section of solar UV radiation in the range of wavelengths of 190--300 nm, and the absorption cross sections of terrestrial IR radiation in the range of 450--1,500 cm{sup {minus}1}, were measured. By means of the obtained data the atmospheric life times, the ozone-depletion potentials, and the global-warming potentials of the compounds were determined using the methods developed in the Laboratory of the Chemistry of the Atmosphere, Institute of Energy Problems of Chemical Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences.
