The chlorine in CFCs is torn away from the compound by the sun's powerful UV rays making the lone Chlorine free to "attacks" the ozone molecules (O3), making them lose an oxygen molecule. The result is O2, and chlorine monoxide, CLO. One chlorine molecule can repeat this cycle over a thousand times, destroying the ozone layer.
The release of CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) causes damage to the ozone layer in the Earth's stratosphere. This leads to increased UV radiation reaching the Earth's surface, which can result in harmful effects on human health, ecosystems, and the environment.
Angoulême CFC was created in 1920.
It must become a grass-roots movement. Bussiness and Industry create these products, and they must be required as a part of their planning to safeguard the public and to properly dispose of their waste products.
Refrigerants that contain chlorine are known as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) or hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs). Among these, CFC-11 (trichlorofluoromethane) and CFC-12 (dichlorodifluoromethane) are two of the refrigerants that contain the most chlorine.
R-22 is the refrigerant that contains CFC (chlorofluorocarbon). R-134a does not contain CFCs but is considered an HFC (hydrofluorocarbon) refrigerant. R-500 contains a mixture of CFC-12 and CFC-22. R-123 is a halocarbon refrigerant but does not contain CFCs specifically.
they are not harmful to the environment
CFC's are destroying our ozone layer. These CFC's are one of the most harmful chemicals of the environment.
A CFC (Chlorofluorocarbon) comprises carbon, chlorine, and fluorine atoms. These compounds are typically used as refrigerants, propellants, and solvents, but they are harmful to the environment as they contribute to ozone depletion in the atmosphere.
the source of cfc is mainly from refrigerators n ac's...increase in the emission of cfc may lead to a hole in the ozone layer,the result of which is harmful rays such as ultra violet rays reaching out to people which causes skin cancer
Simple answer: it is believed CFC destroys the ozone layer in the atmosphere which creates problems with the environment we all live in.
It is CFC. It destroys the ozone.
A CFC molecule is very harmful. It can destroy 100,000 molecules of ozone.
CFC's are some of the refrigerants. They are the ones causing most of the damage.
CFC's are stable. They are compounds of carbon, Chlorine and Fluorine.
CFC stands for chlorofluorocarbon, which is a harmful greenhouse gas that depletes the ozone layer. CFC-free inhalers are inhalers that do not contain this harmful gas and are considered more environmentally friendly. These inhalers use different propellants, such as HFA (hydrofluoroalkane), to deliver medication.
CFC affect refers to the harmful chemicals damaging the ozone layer. The ozone's outer layer is to block harmful UV rays from hurting the living things on the planet, CFC slowly eats away at this layer.
modern aerosols that no longer contain CFC's. the CFC's contributed to ozone depletion.Answer:"Less harmful to the environment" is a set of weasel words. Nobody knows what the words mean but the listner should know the words are covering something up. "Less harmful" should make you ask "Than what" and "Can you prove that". "Harmful" itself should make you wonder what harm is noted, as an example hand grenades are less harmful than atomic bombs but can kill you just as dead. The "environment" is so open to interpretation that it means nothing at all.One should also wonder why the speaker has latched onto the environmental aspect to sell you his product. The fact that he is in the business of sellingsomething that still harms the environment (and potentially you) makes his motives questionable.
