What are CFCs and how are they produced?
CFC's are coolant compounds. They are produced by deodorants, spray cans etc.
What is the term for gases produced by aerosols and manufacturing that destroy the ozone layer?
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) "ozone depleting substances" are more generic, since other chlorine- and bromine-containing molecules, which are produced by Man, have been found "up there" too. Note that CFCs are not "produced by aerosols", but were intentionally manufactured for the purposes of refrigerant and propellant. Not too many countries are still making / using CFCs.
How do you cause cfcs?
CFC's are synthetic chemicals produced by man. They react with ozone to deplete it.
What is the term for gases produced by aerosols manufacturing that destroy the earth's ozone layer?

Are CFCs flammable?
A chlorofluorocarbon, or CFC, is an organic compound that contains carbon, chlorine and fluorine. It is produced as a volatile derivative of methane, ethane and propane. CFCs are generally considered as non-flammable.
How many CFC's are produced by a car?
None at all. CFCs are a chemical compound not a byproduct of the burning of gasoline or diesel.
Can rain demolish CFCs?
CFCs are neither soluble in water or reactive with it. Rain has no impact on CFCs
What causes the ozone hole to expand?
As the CFCs are carried to Antarctica there is a big ozone hole. Chlorine and bromine atoms from CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) separate and destroy ozone molecules, but remain active for several years continuing their destruction. So if more CFCs will be produced in the world more CFCs will be carried to Antarctica by the polar winds and more depletion and the rate of depletion will exceed the rate of formation of ozone molecules resulting in the expansion of ozone hole over Antarctica.
Are CFCs highly toxic?
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are non-toxic.
What substitutes for CFCs came into being after scientists discovered that CFCs were harming the atmosphere?
Replacements for CFCs (dependding on use) included:HCFCsNitrogenAirPropane
How are cfcs released?
CFCs or chlorofluorocarbons are released when a device that holds it is leaking. Also some aerosols release CFCs into the atmosphere.
