- Abstract
Global (1978-2012) and Australian (1996-2011) carbon tetrachloride emissions are estimated from atmospheric observations of CCl[sub 4] using data from the Advanced Global Atmospheric Gases Experiment (AGAGE) global network, in particular from Cape Grim, Tasmania. Global and Australian emissions are in decline in response to Montreal Protocol restrictions on CCl[sub 4] production and consumption for dispersive uses in the developed and developing world. However, atmospheric data-derived emissions are significantly larger than 'bottom-up' estimates from direct and indirect CCl[sub 4] production, CCl[sub 4] transportation and use. Australian CCl[sub 4] emissions are not a result of these sources, and the identification of the origin of Australian emissions may provide a clue to the origin of some of these 'missing' global sources.
