English

Subject field(s)
  • Private-Sector Bodies and Committees

OBS

The Sustainable Development Research Institute(SDRI) was established in April 1991 to foster policy relevant research on sustainability. The Institute merged with the Institute of Resources and Environment in 2002 to form the Institute of Environment, Resources and Sustainability, within which SDRI remains as a research group. SDRI encourages interdisciplinary collaboration among faculty, departments and other centres at UBC, as well as other institutes and programs undertaking sustainability research in Canada and around the world. SDRI attempts to break away from the restrictions imposed by the traditional compartmentalization of research, and transcends disciplinary boundaries in its search for solutions. Our projects involve researchers from the natural sciences, applied sciences, health sciences, social sciences and humanities, working with partner organizations in the private, public and NGO sectors, with a strong focus on policy relevance and community engagement processes.

Subject field(s)
  • Chemical Elements and Compounds

  • Pollutants
CONT

Global chlorofluorocarbon(CFC) emissions, which destroy the earth's protective ozone layer, could be reduced by one third in the United States and worldwide within five years by using "safe CFCs", banning aerosols, recycling the most dangerous CFCs, and developing substitutes, according to a new World Resources Institute report.

OBS

Compare to "soft chlorofluorocarbon".

French

Domaine(s)
  • Éléments et composés chimiques
  • Pollution de l'air
  • Agents de pollution
OBS

inoffensif : qui est incapable de nuire. Antonyme : dangereux, nuisible.

OBS

Les termes récents de «CFC inoffensif» et de «CFC doux» pourraient se recouper selon le sens que chaque auteur voudra bien donner à ces termes. On devrait néanmoins distinguer les CFC inoffensifs (les CFC qui ne contiennent ni chlore ni brome deux substances chimiques qui détruisent l'ozone stratosphérique) des CFC doux (les CFC qui contiennent peu de chlore ou de brome). Un indice, le potentiel de destruction de l'ozone (PDO), permet de situer dans une échelle allant de «dangereux» à «inoffensif» tous les CFC connus.
