Evidence for a major missing source in the global chloromethane budget from stable carbon isotopes

Chloromethane (CH.sub.3 Cl) is the most important natural input of reactive chlorine to the stratosphere, contributing about 16 % to stratospheric ozone depletion. Due to the phase-out of anthropogenic emissions of chlorofluorocarbons, CH.sub.3 Cl will largely control future levels of stratospheric...
