What is the materials use at home that contain CFCs?
Materials used at home that may contain CFCs include old refrigerators, air conditioners, and foam insulation. These items were commonly produced using CFCs before their harmful effects on the environment were understood.
Some scientists hypothesize that earths ozone layer is being damaged by?
Chlorofluorocarbons, also known as CFCs.CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons).Chloro Fluoro Carbons (CFCs) (the gases running old vehicle air conditioners).
Why do flies sometimes congregate around air conditioners?
Old and faulty air conditioners can leak water, and this attracts flies. Keep your air conditioning system maintained and replace the filter regularly.

Ten products/items that contain CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) are: Shaving cream Fire extinguishers Chlorine (in swimming pools) Aerosol cleaning solvents Some types of wall insulation Fast-food cartons Old air conditioners (and some new ones) Old refrigerators Automobile heaters and coolers Electrical equipment (such as wiring)
Does an air conditioner contain chlorofluorocarbons?
Perhaps yes or perhaps no. Don't mean to be a wise guy, but in the strict sense, chlorofluorocarbon refrigerants have no hydrogen in them. They have only chlorine, fluorine and carbon. These refrigerants have been demostrated to be harmful to the ozone layer, though, and have been banned to a large extent by treaty. Only a few of the "old style" units remain in use. You may or may not have one, and that's why the "yes or no" answer. There used to be lots of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) refrigerants, but now we have what are called HCFCs to replace them. The HCFCs are a lot less damaging to the ozone layer, and, though they aren't as effective as refrigerants, they are less harmful to the environment. HCFCs are CFCs with a bit of hydrogen in them. We're not splitting hairs here, but it is important to keep our facts straight. Wikipedia has a short blurb on CFCs and HCFCs, and it is tucked inside the post on haloalkanes. No sweat. Just surf on over and read just that section. It's not rocket science. A link is provided.
What type of radiation does air conditioners emit?
Air conditioners are not designed to emit any electromagnetic radiation. If an old one does, it's usually in the form of radio waves, coming from the unintentional sparking inside an old motor, and causing raspy noise in nearby AM radios.
What type of ignition systems does commercial rooftop heating and air conditioners have?
Air conditioners have no ignition. Modern Gas Furnaces will have either spark ignition or heating element ignition. Old gas furnaces will have pilot lights.
How are humans contributing to the thinning of the ozone layer?
By using CFCs such as aerosols, old fridges, air-conditioning units and polystyrene foam

How are people causing holes in the ozone layer?
There are still some countries and people releasing chlorofluorocarbons into the air, from car air conditioners, old fridges etc.
