CFCs are swirled around the world by the global winds. This can take up to ten years for them to reach the lower stratosphere but when there they are still effective at destroying ozone. CFCs in fact have a lifespan in the atmosphere of between 50 and 75 years.

What chemical destroys the ozone?
Most anything that makes it to the ozone layer gets destroyed, since there is a lot of high energy light available to do this. The most important one is ozone, which is destroyed by: * UV-B from the Sun, * water vapor, * CFC and other contaminants. UV-C and UV-B from the Sun. Not-fully-oxidized sulfur compounds. Molecules with carbon=carbon double bonds. Unpassivated metals. Slowly converts water to hydrogen peroxide...
