How can chlorofluorocarbons in aerosols and refrigerators affect the global environment?

CFC's (chlorofluorocarbons) are greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases hinder the Earth's release of heat. Heat then, is trapped in Earth - increasing the Earth's temperature. Therefore, it contributes to global warming.


What in greenhouse gases are bad for the ozone?

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) are greenhouse gases that are harmful to the ozone layer. When released into the atmosphere, they break down ozone molecules and contribute to the depletion of the ozone layer, leading to increased exposure to harmful UV radiation.


Which of these gases contribute to global warming?

Main gases contributing to global warming are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and water vapor

The term is CFC. It is known as chlorofluorocarbons.


Which gases are trace gases?

Trace gases are such because their concentrations are so much smaller than carbon dioxide. The trace gases that appear to be most important are N2O- nitrous oxide (laughing gas), CH4- methane, and CFC- chlorofluorocarbons.


What is the group of gases that destroy the ozone layer?

Not one but various gases are responsible for the destruction of ozone. Carbon dioxide, CFC's, monoxide etc are some. They might not be responsible directly but indirectly too.CFCs. Chlorofluorocarbons.


What is the gas in old fridges?

Old fridges typically use chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) as the refrigerant gas. These gases have been phased out due to their harmful effects on the ozone layer.


What percentage is CFC in the atmosphere?
