I'm not debating the numbers just trying to figure out if after everything is said and done it all is a wash. Nothing happens in a vaccum, and any Oxygen atom, or O2 molelcule doesn't know if they got split off by a CI atom or UV. If it's all a wash then it doesn't matter how much cfc's are pumped up to the ozone. If it's not a wash then it does matter and matters a Hale of a lot.
Again I'm not argueing just trying to find out, because nothing happens in a vaccum. I'll read the links and see what I can gleen from them thanks. |
Don't sweat it JD. I'm not pushing back. We're good.
Here's another paper you might find useful.

Most of the equations I've quoted are in the first few pages, but when you throw CFCs into the mix there are new reactions to consider. Scroll down to page 8 to see the new reactions and the modifications they cause.
There are 5 simultaneous differential equations that have to be solved in order to calculate the effect. That's asking a little too much for this thread I think. LOL
Just remember that before you add CFCs into the mix, ozone creation and destruction rates have to balance. If not the Ozone cycle would not be in equilibrium.
