News and current affairs

Many toxic substances are released into the environment, even some that are not toxic but nonetheless are highly damaging - for example, the chlorofluorocarbons that caused the Antarctic ozone hole (and which are now regulated).

If it had turned out that chlorine behaved chemically like bromine, the ozone hole would by then have been a global, year-round phenomenon, not just an event of the Antarctic spring.
