Does carbon destroy the ozone layer?

No. There is negligible elemental carbon in our atmosphere.

On Mars, CO2 is converted to CO, and ozone is formed. This mechanism is expected to be much weaker at Earth's higher air pressures. But CO2 presents no *chemical* challenge to ozone.

What molecules destroy the ozone besides CFC's?

Other molecules that can destroy the ozone layer include halons, methyl bromide, carbon tetrachloride, and nitrous oxide. These molecules can break down ozone in the stratosphere through chemical reactions, leading to ozone depletion.


Is carbon dioxide destroying the ozone layer?

Carbon dioxide is not destroying the ozone layer directly but its adverse effects can be seen on the ozone layer indirectly. Carbon dioxide leads to global warming which does not allow the heat to escape out because of which the temperature for the production of ozone is stopped. The rate of production is less than rate of depletion which causes ozone layer to deplete.


Does carbon monoxide destroy the ozone layer?

Ozone will oxidize carbon monoxide. However little carbon monoxide survives the trip to the ozone layer, so it has little effect on "ozone depletion". It will oxidize, usually before it reaches the ozone layer. But should it survive, it will deplete ozone slowly, and / or reduce available oxygen at the altitude of the ozone layer. The rate constant is on the order of the decay rate of ozone, so the ozone has to decay to O + O2, when the monatomic oxygen "instantly" seeks out CO to oxidize it.


What type of things can destroy it the ozone layer?

CFC's destroy ozone. They react with ozone and deplete it.
