How do CFCs affect atmosphere and life on it?

Answer 1

CFC's i.e. Chlorofluorocarbons are the chlorine and fluorine containing compounds which are present in refrigerators, deodorants, aerosol cans etc. These compounds when reach the atmosphere or the ozone layer react with the ozone to form unstable compounds mainly chlorine monoxide. This chlorine monoxide further reacts with the ozone to form oxygen back and chlorine is further produced. this chain continues and the process of depletion of ozone layer becomes a continues phenomenon thus leading t the so called ozone hole.

Answer 2

CFCs, or chlorofluorocarbons, are known to deplete the ozone layer when they break down in the atmosphere. This can lead to increased levels of harmful UV radiation reaching Earth, resulting in negative effects such as skin cancer, cataracts, and damage to marine ecosystems. Efforts to reduce CFC emissions have been enacted under international agreements like the Montreal Protocol to protect the ozone layer and mitigate these impacts.

Answer 3

CFC's we know harm the atmosphere. But they were not known to do this when produced.

Answer 4

Ozone layer is depletion is happening in the stratosphere of the earth's atmosphere. It is majorly concentrated over Antarctica's atmosphere.

Answer 5

CFC's react with ozone. They decompose it.

Answer 6

They are depleting ozone layer , increasing UV light which is cause of cancer , global warming etc .

Answer 7

they create holes in the atmosphere
