CFCs only interacts with stratospheric ozone because the ultraviolet light is much stronger at that altitude. UV breaks down the CFCs to release ionic chlorine (and bromine from Halons) which react with ozone to produce oxygen and atomic oxygen. Ozone does not directly interact with these compounds. It takes energetic light to "deplete ozone" with these compounds. Water vapor does a good job...

How does destroying the ozone layer harm humans?
Only when it depletes, and lets too much UV-B radiation through. The ozone layer (stratospheric ozone) is highly beneficial to life on Earth with no harmful effects. Ozone itself, though, is toxic to humans and is formed in car exhaust, faulty electrical equipment and lightning. Stratospheric ozone is sometimes downwashed into the troposphere as the jet stream passes over mountains giving higher than expected ground level readings in areas where there is no urban / industrial impact.
What does the air the troposphere do as it heats up from the sun?
u dont know nothin
Why dont atomic bombs destroy ozone?
Because the atoms released by atomic bombs do not react with the chemical Ozone, O3.
What is the materials use at home that contain CFCs?
i am not entirely sure but i think it is something science and someting i dont know sorry that i couldnt help
Why wasn't ozone depletion a problem until the 20th century?
i dont know because your dumb
What can be done in order to avoid ozone layer destruction?
just dont use CFCs products like areosols theres other bad stuff too but please dont destroy the ozone layer...bye
What does the Troposphere do?
Much of the phenomena that affects our day-to-day weather takes place in the troposphere.
What do cfcs do to the environment?
As the uv light breaks off the cl atom from cfc molecule(CFCl3), it will react with ozone to produce ClO and react with free O to produce free cl atom tht will attack ozone. Depletion of ozone can cause damage to the living cells and the marine life
How does the troposphere help us?
i dont know

What are the benefits of flying long distance plans in the troposphere?
dont you mean planes

Why don't airplanes fly in the troposphere?
Airplanes dont fly in the stratosphere because they produce too much sound. This may cause noise pollution and stress among people who are on the ground. So they dont fly in the Troposphere.
How cold does the ozone layer have to be to so icebergs dont melt?
The temp of the ozone layer has no affect on icebergs.
Good absorber of uv radiation?
Ozone absorbs UV rays. It is present as ozone layer.
What is ozone layer you dont want the layer definition the other one?
Ozone layer is a magical cover of ozone gas. It protects us from UV rays.
What will happen to the ozone layer if you dont destroy it?
It won't be destoryed.
