What is the harmful effect of aerosol or pressurized sprays?
Aerosol or pressurized sprays contain volatile organic compounds (VOC). These compounds have been linked to the destruction of the ozone layer. They can also cause respiratory problems and eventual organ damage if inhaled over a period of time.
Why were cfcs used in aerosol sprays?
CFCs break down in the upper atmosphere due to UV light from the sun, forming chlorine radicals (chlorine paricles that will react with just about anything). These will collide with ozone, which is a chemical found in the stratosphere that absorbs harmful solar rays, breaking it down into oxygen. This process destroys the naural defenses the earth has against damaging levels of solar radiation. Without ozone, cancers and blindness would affect almost every living creature on earth.
What are some uses for the ozone destroying gases?
The ozone destroying gas is CFC. They are used in AC's, Deodorants, Aerosol sprays etc.
What are the common products likely to contain ozone depleting substances?
Not many left. Used to be refrigerants, solvents, propellants (like in spray cans), and stuff for inflating foam products.
Explain why sprays can contain warnings such as do not puncture or incinerate?
Sprays and contain warnings to ensure people are aware of the potential for danger. Manufacturers place these warnings on cans to limit their exposure to liability.
What section of the atmosphere is affected by aerosol sprays?
Ozone layer
What are two human activities that contribute to global worming?
Driving and using canned sprays that contain aerosol contribute to global warming.
What is the impact of aerosol sprays on the atmosphere?
Aerosol sprays used to be powered by CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons), which were destroying the ozone layer. Thanks to the Montreal Agreement, the whole world agreed to stop making CFCs and the ozone layer is now slowly recovering. Scientists hope it will be fully restored by around 2050.

How can you use aerosol in a sentence?
Do you prefer an air freshener that plugs into the wall or one that sprays from an aerosol can? Dad likes antiperspirant in an aerosol can, but I like the solid stick.
Who invented aerosol sprays?
Aerosol spray cans were invented by Lyle David Goodloe and W. N. Sullivan in 1941.
What propellant is commonly used in aerosol sprays?
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG).
What is the chemical compound used as a propellant in aerosol sprays?
Today propane is used.
Why should you not use too many aerosol sprays?
They have freon in them which damages the Ozone Layer
What can you do to limit global warming?
we can minimize it by cutting short the use of air conditioners,refrigerators,aerosol sprays and all the things which contain clouroflouorcarbons ( CCL2F2,CCL3F),which damage the ozone layer and become a cause of global warming.

What combustible products must not be present during oxygen therapy?
These include petroleum jelly, oils, and aerosol sprays.
