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

Can rain demolish CFCs?
CFCs are neither soluble in water or reactive with it. Rain has no impact on CFCs
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.
How are cfcs used in aerosol?
CFCs were the compressed gas that was used as "spring" to push the can contents out of the container. CFCs have been replaced with HCFCs as a consequence of the Montreal Protocol.
Has CFC - chlorofluorocarbons - production been phased out from the world?
A total of 13 CFCs and HCFCs were banned under the Montreal Protocol in 1987. Scientists have now found four more different CFCs and suspect there are more. These gases may come from chemical fertiliser production, but they may also be from an illegal source. These CFCs are slowing the recovery of the ozone layer hole over Antarctica.
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 cfcs affect air heath?
By the CFCs being sorced into the air, the sun is Breaking them down into the earth.

What is short for chloroflourocarbons?
CFCs
Is there a tree which can absorb CFCs?
no
Are CFCs are synthetic chemicals?
no.
