An international research team led by Scripps Institution of Oceanography, California, and the Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research, suggests we should start worrying about nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) and sulfuryl fluoride (SO2F2).
Both gases are used in industrial processes, as alternatives to ozone-depleting gases, but there are concerns about their effect on global [...]
