CFCs, and are known ozone depleters. See the link below for what their effects are.: * Refrigerant R-10 is CCl4. * Refrigerant R-11 is CCl3F. * Refrigerant R-12 is CCl2F2. * Refrigerant R-13 is CClF3. HCFCs, and are known ozone depleters but with lowered suvivability to reach the ozone layer. See the link below for what its effects are. * Refrigerant R-22 is HCClF2. * Refrigerant R-40 is CH3Cl. It is responsible for ~17% of chlorine-assisted ozone destruction in the statosphere. It is today primarily produced by plants, and the combustion of organic waste materials, since its use in industry was stopped some time ago. CFCs inclusive of HCFCs, are ~82% of the chlorine currently found in the stratosphere Some refrigerants that do not contain chlorine or bromine are: R-14, R-23, R-32, R-41, R-50, R-116, R-125, R-E125, R-134, R-134a, R-E134, R-143, R-143a, R-143m, R-E143a, R-152, R-152a, R-161, R-170, R-218, R-227ca, R-227ca2, R-227ea, R-227me, R-236cb, R-236ea, R-236fa, R-236me, R-FE-36, R-245ca, R-245cb, R-245ea, R-245eb, R-245fa, R-245mc, R-245mf, R-245qc, R-254cb, R-254pc, R-263, R-272, R-281, R-290, R-C318, R-3-1-10, R-347mcc, R-347mmy, R-365mfc, a few of the blends between R-400 and R-600, R-600, R-600a, R-601, R-601a, R-610, R-611, R-630, R-631, R-702, R-704, R-717, R-718, R-720, R-728, R-732, R-740, R-744, R-744A, R-764, R-784, R-1114, R-1132, R-1141, R-1150, R-1216, R-1270 This list includes chemicals that are so stable that they also can accumulate over decades as CFCs did, and yet new problems may result from their use and/or release into the environment. Others of them are fuels (so are flammable), components of natural gas, and may not accumulate, but can contribute to ozone pollution as a VOC.

What is the importance of refrigeration and air conditioning in protecting the ozone layer?
Refrigerator and Air conditions contain CFC's. They don't help but are bad for ozone layer.
What could you do to minimize effects to your health if the ozone layer disappeared?
If the ozone layer disappeared, you cannot do anything. mankind will be destroyed.
What are effects of the ozone layer that causes air pollution?
Ozone layer does not cause air pollution. It is a layer protecting us from the adverse rays of the sun.
What are the good effects of ozone layer depletion?
Even minor problems of ozone depletion can have major effects. Every time even a small amount of the ozone layer is lost, more ultraviolet light from the sun can reach the Earth.
What are some effects of reduced ozone layer on the environment?
Reduced ozone layer causes skin cancer. It can also cause eye cataract.
How can the ozone layer be affected if you recycle?
It will have zero effect. The ozone layer is affected by water vapor, the amount of sunshine and (according to some) CFC's which are produced during the creation of your air conditioner or refrigerator. Recycling is a great idea, but will have zero effect on the ozone layer.

The harmful effects of ozone layer are many. These include eye cataract, skin cancer etc.
What are the health effects of ozone?
The health effects of ozone layer are:Retina lossSuppression of immune systemSkin cancer.
Environmental effects of chlorofluorocarbons?
It only effects the topmost layer of earth ie. Ozone Layer. It depletes only the ozone and no other harms are created in our living surroundings. But while Ozone Layer Depletion is a serious problem
