How have chlorofluocarbons harmed the environment?

For years people thought chlorofluorocarbons were harmless. Then someone discovered they destroyed the ozone in the ozone layer. The ozone layer stops the most dangerous of the sun's rays. Those rays cause cancer when they strike an individual. The continued use of chlorofluorocarbons would wipe out life on earth that lives above the ground or above sea level from cancer. As a result, it became illegal to make machinery that used them. When machines that used them had to be repaired, a different refrigerant had to be used.
