CFC gases from aerosols and fridges destroy ozone and reduce the thickness of the ozone layer
The chemical compound used in aerosols that are thought to be harmful to the Ozone are known as Chlorofluorocarbon or "CFCs" for short.

CFC is the term. They deplete the ozone.
Not any more. The CFCs that were used as aerosols in the 1980s are responsible for the depletion of the ozone layer. These have been phased out and scientists hope the ozone layer will have recovered by about 2060.It emits gases that damage the ozone layer.
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) "ozone depleting substances" are more generic, since other chlorine- and bromine-containing molecules, which are produced by Man, have been found "up there" too. Note that CFCs are not "produced by aerosols", but were intentionally manufactured for the purposes of refrigerant and propellant. Not too many countries are still making / using CFCs.

CFc's is the name. They have a major part in destroying ozone.

Yes. People developed chemicals such as CFCs (Chlorofluorocarbons) for use in refrigerators and as a propellant gas in aerosols. These CFCs rose high into the atmosphere and caused damage to the ozone layer. the use of CFCs has since been banned and the ozone layer is slowly recovering. Hopefully.
Aerosols are harming the ozone. They contain the synthetic CFC's.
Yes they do. Aerosols react with ozone to harm it.
