As atmospheric concentrations of CFC-11 drop, the global ocean should become a source of the chemical by the middle of next century.
The world’s oceans are a vast repository for gases including ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs. They absorb these gases from the atmosphere and draw them down to the deep, where they can remain sequestered for centuries and more.
