Cfc is the mos abundant gas. We used it in refrigerators in the past.
Is argon considered a pollutant?
Argon is a noble gas and is a non pollutant part of our atmosphere.
Can sunlight striking CFC molecules can cause Chlorine to be released?
Yes! Once cfc's are released into the atmosphere the travel into the statosphere where they linger for hundreds of years & under the influance of sun light a chlorine atom is released from the cfc molecule.
What effect do scientists predict banning the use of CFC will have?
Keep the ozone layer intact. CFC's in the upper atmosphere destroys the Ozone layer and puts a hole in it, allowing more UV radiation in.

What are the groups of pollutant gases which break up the ozone molecules?
CFC's are the group of pollutant gases. They break up the ozone layer.

Are fumes from burning plastic a primary pollutant?
Yes. A primary pollutant is emitted directly into the atmosphere.
Why are scientists begin to worry about the levels of CFC in the atmosphere?
Scientists have began to worry about CFC's. They are going up in atmosphere and destroying ozone.
Which pollutant is attributed to the development of the ozone hole?
CFC's are attributed for ozone hole. They react with ozone and deplete it.
What are two artificial particles in the atmosphere?
CFC's
Why ozone layer is a pollutan when it is in the lower atmosphere and not a pollutant when in high?
Ozone layer is a pollutant when it is in lower atmosphere because there it does not protect us. The stratospheric ozone is a good one.
What is the amount of CFC in the atmosphere in 1950?
The amount of CFC in 1950 was none. It was because they were discovered later.
