In May we cited the news of an unexpected and persistent increase in global emissions of banned ozone-depleting Chemical CFC-11. It has caught lots of interest from scientific and NGO communities. A new report by Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) "reveals compelling evidence that illegal production and use of CFC-11 in the polyurethane foam sector in China is the cause". Is this the real and only culprit? Association 3 Herissons will keep an eye on the development.

Please refer to the EIA report for more details.
