It's not in bodysprays anymore, considering that sprays containing this compound anymore are legal.

You're thinking of CFCs (ChloroFluoroCarbons).

These are organic compounds with carbon chains that are substituted with chlorine and fluorine instead of hydrogens (For example, look up chlorofluoromethane).

CFCs reacted with the ozone layer (Ozone is itself a compound, O3) and basically depleted the layer at the end of last century. Think of Ozone as a "shield" and it protects us from the catastrophic sun rays that would possibly cause an increase in cancer. And serious damage to crops. CFCs break this protective shield....and you know the rest.
