CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) currently make up less than 1% of greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere.
Chlorine atoms in CFC molecules can destroy thousands of ozone molecules in the upper atmosphere when they are released due to UV light breaking down the CFC molecules. These chlorine atoms react with ozone molecules, causing them to break apart and reduce the ozone concentration in the atmosphere.
Yes! Once cfc's are released into the atmosphere the travel into the statosphere where they linger for hundreds of years & under the influance of sun light a chlorine atom is released from the cfc molecule.
A CFC (Chlorofluorocarbon) comprises carbon, chlorine, and fluorine atoms. These compounds are typically used as refrigerants, propellants, and solvents, but they are harmful to the environment as they contribute to ozone depletion in the atmosphere.
Chlorine atoms in CFC molecules can destroy thousands of ozone molecules in the upper atmosphere. When CFCs break down in the stratosphere due to UV radiation, the chlorine atoms released can catalyze the breakdown of ozone molecules, leading to ozone depletion.
The atmosphere is composed of approximately 21% oxygen.
Scientists have began to worry about CFC's. They are going up in atmosphere and destroying ozone.
CFC's
No, they are not. CFC regulations must be tight enough not to allow any piece of it in atmosphere.
It is broken in the stratosphere. CFC's react with ozone to deplete it.
Chlorofluorocarbons. This is the full form of CFC that destroy the ozone shield in our atmosphere.
No CFC's cannot create the ozone and ozone layer. They can only destroy ozone molecules in the atmosphere.

In the lower atmosphere, CFC molecules undergo photolysis when they are exposed to ultraviolet radiation from the sun. This process breaks down the CFC molecule into chlorine atoms, which can then catalyze the destruction of ozone molecules. This contributes to the depletion of the ozone layer.
In 2000, the amount of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in the atmosphere was estimated to be around 2.7 parts per trillion. This was a significant decrease compared to levels in the late 20th century due to the implementation of the Montreal Protocol to phase out CFC production.

The amount of ozone has reduced. It is due to CFC.
The ozone hole is not yet closed. And ban on CFC's has been long enough now.
