About This Item
Cambridge, MA: The MIT Press, 1995. First? Edition. First? Printing. very good, very good. 355, illus., notes, references, index, publisher's ephemera laid in, slight wear and soiling to DJ, minor edge soiling. New Scientist calls this book "the most comprehensive overview of the problem of ozone depletion yet available" and says it is "technical enough to meet the needs of specialists, but clear enough for the concerned general reader. " There is a widely held misconception that the problem of ozone depletion in the upper atmosphere has been solved. In fact, while CFC production has been reduced in many places, the ongoing emissions of chemicals and the production of other long-lived ozone-depleting substances mean a decade will pass before the levels of ozone-depleting chlorine in the earth's atmosphere begin to decline. As a result, serious ozone depletion above the southern pole and elsewhere is expected to continue for decades, posing a severe threat to human health and to ecosystems.
