CFC's contribute to ozone hole. They react with the ozone.
Gases are many that can contribute to ozone. Greenhouse gases to be mentioned here.
Automobile exhaust does not directly contribute to the ozone hole. The ozone hole is primarily caused by the release of certain chemicals like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons, which react with ozone in the stratosphere. However, automobile exhaust can indirectly affect the ozone layer by releasing nitrogen oxides, which can contribute to ozone depletion in the lower atmosphere.
People often confuse global warming with the hole in the ozone layer. The most important connection is that, the gases that used to cause the ozone hole are also greenhouse gases, and contribute to the warming of the earth. Some people are under the delusion that ozone hole opens up, allows more sunlight in, and warms the earth -- this is not true.
Ozone hole is constantly changing due to release of CFC gases. They convert ozone to oxygen.
Ozone pollution is depletion of ozone because of CFC gases. Stopping use of CFC gases which are found in refrigerants can help to stop ozone hole expansion.
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and other human-made chemicals containing chlorine and bromine are primarily responsible for depleting the ozone layer. When these gases are released into the atmosphere, they break down ozone molecules and create a hole in the ozone layer, primarily over Antarctica.
No, greenhouse gases do not reduce the hole. In the contrary, they increase the size of the hole.
Greenhouse gases and pollution
Air pollution causes ozone depletion. The gases react with ozone to deplete.
The hole in the ozone layer came about because of the artificially produced gases CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). These contained chlorine and bromine which destroyed ozone. CFCs are now banned. The ozone hole has very little to do with global warming.
The ozone hole in Antarctica typically occurs from September to November, with the largest depletion usually observed in October. This is during the Southern Hemisphere's spring when unique atmospheric conditions contribute to the formation of the ozone hole.
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) are greenhouse gases that are harmful to the ozone layer. When released into the atmosphere, they break down ozone molecules and contribute to the depletion of the ozone layer, leading to increased exposure to harmful UV radiation.
