Natural methyl bromide and methyl chloride emissions from coastal salt marshes
Article Abstract:
Atmospheric methyl bromide and methyl chloride are involved in stratospheric ozone depletion. It is shown that they are released to the atmosphere from the vegetation zones of two coastal salt marshes. Large fluxes are observed, showing large diurnal, seasonal and spatial variations. The measurements indicate that such ecosystems may produce about 10% of total fluxes of atmospheric methyl bromide and methyl chloride.

Low European methyl chloroform emissions inferred from long-term atmospheric measurements
Article Abstract:
European methyl chloroform emission estimates are higher than calculated from consumption data, but are considerably lower than those derived from the Export campaign in 2000. Methyl chloroform was widely used as a solvent before it was recognized as an ozone depleting substance.
