Abstract :
The Montreal Protocol controls the manufacture and use of substances that deplete the Earth´s stratospheric ozone. Amongst the chemicals under regulatory control are two halogenated solvents used widely in the electronics industry: CFC-113 and 1.1.1 trichloroethane. The paper gives the environmental science of ozone depletion and its ecological impact. The properties and uses of the common halogenated solvents are discussed and the range of more environmentally acceptable cleaning options, suitable for the applications in the electronics industry, are given
