Subject: Please include sulfuryl fluoride among regulated SLCPs
Comment:
Thank you for your proposal to reduce emissions of short-lived climate pollutants, including fluorinated gases. This is critically important. However, I understand that one fluorinated gas is not included: sulfuryl fluoride. Several years ago, my home was fumigated with Vikane. No alternative seemed to be available; sulfuryl fluoride replaced methyl bromide, which had been banned, at least partly because it is a greenhouse gas. Yet this may be a case of unintended consequences, because sulfuryl fluoride is also a climate pollutant. Please include sulfuryl fluoride to the SLCPs that must be reduced in our atmosphere. Either it should be banned from activities where it is emitted, or stringent measures must be required to recapture it and prevent its release to the atmosphere.
