Carbon tetrachloride is used as a raw material in many industrial processes, including the production of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). They are considered ozone-depleting chemicals because chlorine atoms, when released into the stratosphere, destroys the ozone layer by breaking it apart.

Can carbon dioxide cause the depletion of the ozone layer?
Carbon dioxide can cause the depletion of ozone indirectly. It is due to the global warming which then causes ozone depletion.
Is global warming a factor that cause ozone depletion or a result of ozone depletion?
Global warming and ozone depletion are not related.
What is a cause and effect of ozone depletion?
Depletion of ozone is caused by CFC's. It is fatal to life.
How depletion of ozone layer occurs?
Depletion of ozone occurs at the poles. CFC's cause it.
Does ozone cause ozone depletion?
No. Less ozone would cause less depletion, if that were the case. We have less ozone each year, and the rate of depletion does not correlate with the amount we have. See the related questions section below.
How can we affect CFCs?
CFC's are compounds which cause ozone depletion. They decompose ozone.
What ozone drestroying chloroflorocarbon?
Ozone depletion is the process where ozone holes are created in the ozone layer. It is caused due to the action of chloro-floro-carbons on the ozone molecule to break it down to oxygen.
What cause a depletion of the ozone?
There are some chemical compounds. Main reason is CFC
What are release of CFCs and similar compounds a cause of?
Destruction of ozone in the upper atmosphere
What is the mjor cause of the ozone depletion?
The major cause of ozone depletion is the reaction of CFC with ozone. They decompose ozone and cause its depletion.
CFC's may cause ozone depletion by?
CFC's may cause ozone depletion by reacting with ozone. They react and decompose them to form other chlorine and fluorine compounds thus depleting the ozone layer.
How have humans affected the ozone layer in a good way?
Grounded the Concorde.Banned the use of compounds known to cause ozone depletion in the conditions in the ozone layer.
What pollutants cause ozone depletion?
Greenhouse gases cause ozone depletion. They react with ozone to decompose it.
What can CFCs cause ozone depletion?
CFC's react with ozone to cause depletion. they decompose the ozone layer.
What causes the depletion of the ozone?
CFC's cause depletion of ozone. It reacts with ozone to deplete it.
