What else can I help you with?
What kind of effect do CFCs - chlorofluorocarbons - have on the atmosphere?
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) destroy the ozone layer allowing harmful radiation to reach the earth.
What appliances increase CFCs in the atmosphere?
Refrigerators and air conditioners are common appliances that can contribute to an increase in CFCs in the atmosphere. CFCs are used as refrigerants in these appliances and can be emitted into the atmosphere if not properly contained or disposed of.
How does CFCs effect the ozone?
CFC's react with ozone. They decompose it to deplete it.
What are the percentage uses of CFCs?
The CFC's are used in almost all refrigerants. They provide cooling effect.
Effect of cfcs in your ozone layer?
CFC's decompose into Chlorine and Fluorine. They react with ozone and deplete it.
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.
Are all CFCs greenhouse gasses?
No, not all chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are greenhouse gases. While CFCs do contribute to ozone layer depletion and are potent greenhouse gases, some CFCs like CFC-12 primarily affect the ozone layer and have a negligible impact on global warming.
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
Does CFC's cause Global warming?
Actually CFCs (Chlorofluorocarbons) don't do much to cause global warming. CFCs destroy ozone, and may cause problems concerning the UV rays coming through the atmosphere. Global warming has to do with carbon dioxide levels and temperature.
What has had the greatest effect on ozone depletion?
The release of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and other ozone-depleting substances, primarily used in refrigeration, air conditioning, and aerosol sprays, has had the greatest effect on ozone depletion. Once in the atmosphere, these chemicals break down ozone molecules, leading to the thinning of the ozone layer.
Are CFCs highly toxic?
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are non-toxic.
