 event
 The mixed gas of 20 ppmv CF2Cl2 and 20 ppmv CFCl3 in nitrogen gas (Nihon Sanso) was used as a primary reference gas. In order to make a reference gas for practical use, 200 μl of this gas was diluted with 10 l ultra pure nitrogen gas, which was passed through a U-shaped glass tube filled with active carbon (0 degrees centigrade), into a 20 l tedlar bag just before the analysis.
A primary reference gas for CF2Cl2 and CFCl3 was changed in 1984 (Seitetsu Kagaku) and again in 1986 (Nihon Sanso), respectively. The accuracy of the concentrations of these gases was certified to be better than ±5%.

 Air samples were collected by means of an air-pump into stainless-steel cylinders on an aircraft (Piper Seneca, Piper Aztec, Aerocommander 685, Cessna 404, Merlin Ⅳ, Rear Jet etc.) over Japan between February 1978 and February 1996. CF2Cl2, CFCl3 and N2O in the air sample were analyzed using a Shimadzu Gas Chromatograph GC-6AM equipped with an ECD. The sample air in the cylinder was transferred to a gas sampler (Shimadzu MGS-4) and then to the gas chromatograph. Details of the air sampling and gas chromatographic measurement are described elsewhere (Muramatsu et al., 1982; Hirota et al., 1984, 1988, 1997).
