What "chlorofluorocarbons" detrimental to the ozone layer?  I thought any
organic chlorine compound that is volatile enough to get into the upper
atmosphere was capable of generating chlorine free radicals and this 
taking out ozone....

I ask after the several comments saying trichloroethane is not a CFC (well
of course it isn't-- it is just a CC!) and (thus?) does not threaten the 
ozone layer.....
