I don't know, but I'd guess that for the number of times one would use Freon From a Can, compared to the number of times that most people in the so-called "civilized world" sprayed their arm-pits with deodorant (with all those evil propellants in those cans), Freon wasn't a huge part of the problem.
Getting even further off-topic, it's that same "Howitzer to Kill Mosquitoes" approach that killed the mercury cell. Damn, those things were so small, and lasted so long, I find it hard to believe they did any appreciable damage to the environment. I've had them last 5 to 10 years in cameras, and I suspect that they could have been properly disposed of rather than being thrown in the trash if they were such a big problem. There's far more mercury in cars, and they don't last as long (on average)...
