An increase in the use of CFCs would likely lead to the thinning of the ozone layer in the stratosphere. This could result in higher levels of UV radiation reaching the Earth's surface, leading to increased risk of skin cancer and other health issues, as well as potential harm to ecosystems.

What kind of effect do CFCs - chlorofluorocarbons - have on the atmosphere?
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) destroy the ozone layer allowing harmful radiation to reach the earth.
How does CFCs effect the ozone?
CFC's react with ozone. They decompose it to deplete it.
What has had the greatest effect on ozone depletion?
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)
Effect of cfcs in your ozone layer?
CFC's decompose into Chlorine and Fluorine. They react with ozone and deplete it.
What are the percentage uses of CFCs?
The CFC's are used in almost all refrigerants. They provide cooling effect.
Are all CFCs greenhouse gasses?
Yes, even though they are primarily harmful because of their effect on ozone depletion. CFCs have both effects. The two effects are different. The ozone depletion is worse.
What appliances increase CFCs in the atmosphere?
Various appliances cause ozone depletion. These are refrigerators, air conditioners etc.
What gasses make the hole in the ozone layer?
Gases such as CFCs, nitrous oxide, hydroxl, chlorine, and bromine are the main "hole" creators. These are produced naturally, in industrial applications, and by some consumer products. Carbon dioxide does not deplete the ozone. It does increase the green house effect but has a negligible effect on ozone depletion.
What are cfcs how does it effect the ozone layer?
CFC's are man made ozone depleting substances. They react with ozone and deplete it.
Can rain demolish CFCs?
CFCs are neither soluble in water or reactive with it. Rain has no impact on CFCs
What gases cause a greenhouse effect on planets?
Carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) trap infrared radiation (heat) causing a greenhouse effect.
How can science build or destroy your society?
Science can build aircons, but it also have a bad effect to our environment/society because of their CFCs
