What groups are helping the ozone depletion problem?
Every country in the world approved the 1987 Montreal Protocol, which led to the phasing out of the production of CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons), the major cause of ozone destruction in the atmosphere.
The major greenhouse gases include methane CFCs water vapor and?
Carbon Dixide
The major greenhouse gases include methane CFCs water vapor and what?
Carbon Dioxide.
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.
Is the ozone problem caused by the burning of fossil fuels?
No, burning fossil fuel has little to do with this. The ozone problem was caused by the addition of CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) to the atmosphere during the 20th century. The Montreal protocol successfully convinced all countries to stop producing CFCs and the ozone layer should have repaired itself by around 2050.
Why is the CFCs and the ozone layer a concern?
CFC's and ozone layer combined is a concern. It is the problem because CFC's destroy the ozone to a great content.
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.
Are there hairsprays that still have CFCs in them?
Probably not. There may be some small companies in developing countries still using CFCs but all major countries have phased them out by the end of last century. Hairsprays have other chemicals which may not be good for the atmosphere either. We may have to wait and see.
How do cfcs affect air heath?
By the CFCs being sorced into the air, the sun is Breaking them down into the earth.
