How do you reduce effect of harmful gases in our surrounding?
We can reduce by not using AC ,refrigerator, sprays, etc
Why were cfcs used in aerosol sprays?
CFCs break down in the upper atmosphere due to UV light from the sun, forming chlorine radicals (chlorine paricles that will react with just about anything). These will collide with ozone, which is a chemical found in the stratosphere that absorbs harmful solar rays, breaking it down into oxygen. This process destroys the naural defenses the earth has against damaging levels of solar radiation. Without ozone, cancers and blindness would affect almost every living creature on earth.
