A review of health problems caused by the use of chlorofluorocarbons--chemical substances of widespread and varied applications is presented. There is a recent evidence that fully halogenated chlorofluorocarbons are air pollutants inducing hazardous health effects. Direct effects of chlorofluorocarbons on respiratory and cardiac functions are described among which some with lethal outcome. Recent data are given and models described forecasting indirect effects of chlorofluorocarbons induced by their ozone depleting reactions in the stratosphere which bring about a higher exposure of the population to UV-B radiation. As a consequence of which, an increase of the incidence of nonmelanoma and melanoma skin cancers, immunosuppression, and eye disorders is predicted. The latest international activities aimed at urgent prevention of these effects are described.
