What are the characteristics of CFC and HCFC refrigerants and how do these refrigerants contribute to ozone depletion?

They were made and used because they are extremely stable, they had useful gas-to-liquid transition temperatures, and they were cheap (fluorine production is dirty, dangerous, and hence expensive).
They contribute to ozone depletion because they are so stable they can only be brokne down in the intense radiation of the ozone layer, and their chlorine payload is released to do its dirty deed over and over.

What types of chemical pollutantsare responsible for ozone depletion. where do these chemicals come from?
The CFC's are responsible for ozone depletion. They come from refrigerants.
Do Volcanoes and Oceans contribute to the Ozone Depletion?
Volcano and Oceans do contribute to ozone depletion. But the extent to which they do is very less.
What are the chemicals in aerosols and refrigerants partly responsible for the depletion of the ozone layer?
CFc's and freons are responsible. They cause the depletion of ozone layer. The depletion is due to Chlorine and Fluorine.
What are the air pollutants that contribute to the ozone depletion?
The various CFC's and the H CFC's are the ones which contribute maximum to the ozone depletion.
What iteam in the home can contribute to the depletion of the ozone layer?
You can contribute from home towards ozone depletion. You can plant trees and stop use of CFC's.
Why are refrigerants responsible for ozone layer depletion?
Refrigerants release CFC's. They react with ozone to deplete it.
What can humans do to the ozone layer?
Human can help prevent ozone layer depletion. They can stop using CFC gases like refrigerants and contribute for better tomorrow.

What are the air pollutants that contribute to the ozone depletion?
The various CFC's and the H CFC's are the ones which contribute maximum to the ozone depletion.
What is the future plus ozone depletion?
Ozone depletion can be stopped by substitutuing refrigerants with some other gases. It will help stop Global Warming too.
What is the relationship between deplete the ozone layer and the refrigerants?
Ozone depletion is due to CFC's. These CFC's are released from refrigerators.
What iteam in the home can contribute to the depletion of the ozone layer?
You can contribute from home towards ozone depletion. You can plant trees and stop use of CFC's.
What depletes ozone in stratosphere?
The depletion of ozone in stratosphere is due to the continues usage of CFCs. These cfc contribute to the depletion of ozone molecules.
What activities of men contribute the depletion of the ozone layer?
The use of CFC contributed to depletion of ozone. It is because they react with ozone to decompose it.
How does the depletion of the ozone layer contribute to climate change?
Depletion of ozone alters ecosystem. This then alters the climate change.
