No, fire works donot harm ozone layer.The substances that are causing ozone layer depletion are freons, CFC's etc..
These are called as ozone-depleting substances (ODS).

Which are two major efforts to save Ozone layer?
Avoid buying and using aerosols and sprays composed of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC).Avoid using fire extinguishers with halogenated hidrocarbon since it is a very agressive substance for the ozone layer.
What human made chemical in particular destroys the ozone layer?
it mid be smoke cause smoke can cause fire and can burn the ozone layer
Do rockets put a hole in the ozone layer?
It's just gas, much like the rest of the atmosphere, so a rocket just pushes right through it. You know how clouds block sunlight, and if they are thick enough, you can't see the Sun anymore and it is pretty dark? Airplanes can fly through those clouds. The ozone layer is like those clouds, only it doesn't block visible light... and it is very thin. Ozone just blocks UV-B and more energetic light, protecting Earth's surface.
What are the main causes for ozone depletion?
the depletion of the ozone layer is mainly caused by gasses called chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) CFC are used in some refrigerator's, aerosol's conditioner's, styrofoam container's and fire extinguisher's.
How ozone layer can be damaged?
the amount of ozone in the atmosphere began to drop sharply in the 1980s . this decrease has been linked to synthetic chemicals like chlorofluorocarbons which are used in refrigerants and in fire extinguisher's .
What chemical in fire extinguishers destroys ozone?
See "What is causing the depletion of the ozone layer?" in the "Related questions" section below.

Do fire crackers affect the ozone layer?
No, it is responsible for global warming and air pollution but not for depletion of CholoroFluoroCarbons (CFCs)
What is halon fire extinguisher used for?
Class A fire extinguishers - used for fires caused by "ordinary combustibles" aka paper, wood, plastic, cardboard, etc.Class B fire extinguishers - used for fires caused by flammable liquids such as gasoline and oil.Class C fire extinguishers - used for electrical firesClass D fire extinguishers - used for fires caused by explosive or flammable metals (most commonly found in laboratoriesClass K fire extinguishers - used for fires found in commercial kitchens
Ozone layer depletion cfc's in global warmng?
Global Warming has nothing to do with the Ozone layer. Ozone is a chemical, O3 ,that stops most of the UV radiation from the sum from getting to the earth's surface. Chloro-fluoro carbons- CFC's are chemicals that were used in cooling systems and complex fire extinguishers, as well as aerosols. When scientists did research in the 1970's etc, they worked out that CFC's, such as Freon, chlorotrifluoromethane, CClF3, break ozone into oxygen and "oxygen radicals", that react with the CFC. This creates a hole in the ozone layer. A lack of ozone doesn't affect global warming. Instead, the CFC's themselves are potent greenhouse gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect and global warming.
What human made chemical in particular destroys the ozone layer?
it mid be smoke cause smoke can cause fire and can burn the ozone layer
What are dry chemical fire extinguishers to do?
They form a barrier on the surface of the burning substance - which melts to form an airtight layer - starving the fire of oxygen. Smother the fire
Is nitrogen in fire extinguishers?
Nitrogen can be used in fire extinguishers as gas propellant.
What are fire extinguishers be used for?
FIRE extinguishers are used to put out fire.

Do all boats need fire extinguishers?
No, there are boats that do not need any fire extinguishers.
Are halogenated organic compounds combustible?
Typical organic compounds are combustible by their nature (they contain carbon). However halogenated organic compounds range from less-flammable to inflammable. Halogens used to be common in fire extinguishers and are quite effective in this capacity, but halogen fire extinguishers are now either illegal or are being retired in many countries due to the halogen's tendency to destroy the earth's ozone layer.
