  HCFCs, with one or more hydrogen-carbon bonds  are slated to replace CFCs
  in most of the current applications. HCFCs are more unstable and subject
  to hydroxyl radical and  ozone attack early in their gas phase career in
  the atmosphere. Therefore, their atmospheric lifetime is projected to be
  shorter  and their chance of reaching the stratosphere
  decreased. [Spectator; v 272; p 9-11; 1994][New Scientist; v 141; p 6-7;
  1994.]
