Can rain demolish CFCs?
CFCs are neither soluble in water or reactive with it. Rain has no impact on CFCs
What substitutes for CFCs came into being after scientists discovered that CFCs were harming the atmosphere?
Replacements for CFCs (dependding on use) included:HCFCsNitrogenAirPropane
Are CFCs are synthetic chemicals?
no.
Which is true about CFCs?
Deplete the ozone.
Do CFCs strengthen the ozone layer?
No, the chlorine and other chemicals in CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) destroy the ozone molecules and weaken the ozone layer.
How are cfcs released?
CFCs or chlorofluorocarbons are released when a device that holds it is leaking. Also some aerosols release CFCs into the atmosphere.
What are the Release of CFCs and similar compounds are a possible cause of -?
The chlorine in CFCs causes a breakdown of the ozone layer, resulting in more skin problems from increased ultraviolet light.

Cfcs break down in the stratosphere under the influence of?
Light , release Cl which damages ozone .
Release of CFCs and similar compounds are a possible cause of -?
"destruction of ozone in the upper atmosphere"
Are CFCs highly toxic?
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are non-toxic.
What substitutes for CFCs came into being after scientists discovered that CFCs were harming the atmosphere?
Replacements for CFCs (dependding on use) included:HCFCsNitrogenAirPropane
What are release of CFCs and similar compounds a cause of?
Destruction of ozone in the upper atmosphere
What effect do CFCs have on the Earth's stratosphere?
CFCs (Chlorofluorocarbons)What type of substance is it?CFCs are a class of man-made chemicals, generally non-toxic, non-flammable, chemically unreactive, colourless liquids or gases that evaporate easily. They are a group of ozone depleting substances. They damage the Earth's ozone layer, which protects the earth's surface from harmful ultra-violet radiation. CFCs are also powerful greenhouse gases which contribute to global warming.How is it released?Release to the atmosphere is primarily from CFC-containing aerosols, refrigeration equipment and some foams. There are no natural sources of CFCs.
How are cfcs used in aerosol?
CFCs were the compressed gas that was used as "spring" to push the can contents out of the container. CFCs have been replaced with HCFCs as a consequence of the Montreal Protocol.
How do cfcs affect air heath?
By the CFCs being sorced into the air, the sun is Breaking them down into the earth.
How does the CFCs release catalyst that break down the ozone layer?
See "What is causing the depletion of the Ozone Layer?"in the "Related questions" section below.
