Water vapor is naturally present in the Earth's atmosphere and plays a key role in the water cycle. CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) are used in refrigeration, air conditioning, and aerosol propellants. However, CFCs have been found to deplete the ozone layer in the stratosphere, leading to the implementation of regulations to phase them out.

The major greenhouse gases include methane CFCs water vapor and what?

The major greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and fluorinated gases such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Water vapor is also a significant greenhouse gas, but its levels in the atmosphere are largely influenced by other environmental factors.


What are 5 substances found in air?

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.


How many types of green house gas are there?

There are seven main types of greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), fluorinated gases, water vapor, ozone, and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). They all contribute to trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to global warming and climate change.


What factor has contributed to the thinning of the ozone layer?

Refrigeration (Production of CFCs). Home hair care (Production of CFCs). Powered flight (Release of water vapor at high altitude, and consumption of oxygen at high altitude). Fossil fuel power (Release of hot water vapor to the atmosphere, reduction in free oxygen).

What is harming the ozone layer?

This has been answered under other categories: # Water vapor both blocks one path of ozone formation, and provides a faster decay path for ozone. Water vapor arrives in the "ozone layer" from both natural and Man-caused sources. # CFCs have been shown to catalytically destroy ozone, and stick around long enough to do it again and again. CFCs are entirely Man-caused. Other catalysts may source from volcanos, etc.


What tools are used to measure water vapor?

Tools used to measure water vapor in the air include hygrometers, psychrometers, and dew point meters. These instruments measure the humidity levels in the air by detecting the amount of water vapor present.
