What things contain CFC's that is harmful to the ozone layer?
free of chlorofluorocarbons. harmful chemicals that eat away at the ozone. they were most commonly found in aerosol cans, but have since been linked to the degradation of the atmosphere.
Why use isobutane in deodorant?
Spray (AEROSOL) deodorant (or any aerosol can) has to have a pressurised power source. Butane goes liquid at a low enough pressure that it reduces packaging costs and shipping cost in comparison to air or other chemicals

Chlorofluorocarbons are compounds made of carbon, chlorine, fluorine, and hydrogen. They are bad for the environment and come from aerosol sprays and refrigerators.
Where can CFC's found?
Chlorofluorocarbon was found mostly in refrigerators, aerosol cans and air conditioners etc... But since the Montreal Protocol the use of CFCs has practically been eliminated. Cooling systems that use this compound now use HCFCs which causes less damage to the ozone layer
Why is inhaling aerosol fumes and chemicals hazardous to a person?
bad for lungs and damages the brain.
Are rockets to blame for the damage to the ozone layer?
No, chemicals like Freon (i.e. chlorofluorocarbons, CFCs, halons) transport chlorine to the ozone layer where the chlorine catalyzes the conversion of ozone (O3) back to ordinary oxygen (O2). A single chlorine atom is such an effective catalyst that it can breakdown 1000 to 10000 ozone molecules while it is in the ozone layer. These chemicals have traditionally been used in refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, aerosol cans, fire extinguishers, etc. because they are nontoxic and do not burn. Rockets and missiles do not use these chemicals. Producing safe replacements for these chemicals that will not transport chlorine to the ozone layer has been difficult. Some replace the chlorine with other elements (e.g. fluorine, hydrogen, bromine) that cannot catalyze the breakdown of ozone, sometimes flammable hydrocarbons (e.g. butane) are used as replacements (e.g. aerosol cans).
