(Off topic) "I don't understand why CL released from a workshop would not have to travel the same route as volcano emissions myself."

Answer: It does travel the same route. The difference is the chlorine from a CFC is noreactive. It can't react until the CFC breaks down. Scientists tell us that this only happens in the upper atmosphere. Clhlorine from volcanoes is more likely to be in its elemental form until it cools off and reacts with the water vapor in the air. I suspect the article you are refering to probably is good science and might even explain the anomolyous ozone hole near the South Pole but takes nothing away from the dangers of CFCs.(Some chlorine from the volcano might not all react and contributes to the problem.)
