When ultraviolet radiation decomposes chlorinated hydrocarbons, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), the gas formed is typically chlorine gas (Cl2). This process is known as photodissociation, where the high-energy UV radiation breaks the carbon-chlorine bonds in the hydrocarbon, releasing chlorine gas as a byproduct. Chlorine gas is a highly reactive and toxic substance that can have detrimental effects on the environment and human health.
Phosgene is not formed by the decomposition of chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents by ultraviolet radiation. It is produced by the reaction of carbon monoxide with chlorine gas under certain conditions. Phosgene is a highly toxic and irritating gas that was used as a chemical warfare agent during World War I.
No, ultraviolet radiation is not emitted by the Earth itself. Ultraviolet radiation comes from the sun and is a form of electromagnetic radiation with shorter wavelengths than visible light. Earth's atmosphere filters and absorbs some of the incoming ultraviolet radiation before it reaches the surface.

Ultraviolet Electromagnetic Radiation
The ozone layer absorbs ultraviolet radiation. The ozone layer is in the stratosphere. So, the thermosphere does not absorb radiation.

CFC's Chlorinated Fluorocarbons) one of the halogenated hydrocarbon subgroups are causing a considerable portion of the break down of the ozone at higher altitudes resulting in more (harmful) ultraviolet radiation from the sun penetrating the atmosphere.
The Earth itself does not emit ultraviolet radiation. Ultraviolet radiation primarily comes from the sun, which emits different wavelengths of light including ultraviolet radiation. When the Earth is exposed to sunlight, it can absorb and reflect this ultraviolet radiation.
Ultraviolet radiation has greater energy than infrared radiation. Ultraviolet radiation has shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies, while infrared radiation has longer wavelengths and lower frequencies.
At present, Australia is said to receive high levels of ultraviolet radiation.
No, it is a type of electromagnetic radiation, which ultraviolet is part of as well.

Not as ultraviolet; the radiation is emitted as infrared radiation.
Ultraviolet radiation can kill some microorganisms and has a role in the vitamin A synthesis.

Phosgene is a very toxic chemical that can be produced during welding when chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents come into contact with UV radiation from the welding arc. This can occur when cleaning metal surfaces with solvents containing chlorinated compounds before welding. Exposure to phosgene can lead to severe respiratory issues and even death.
Phosgene is a toxic gas that can be produced during welding when chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents come into contact with UV radiation or heat generated by the welding process. Exposure to phosgene can cause serious respiratory issues and even death. Proper ventilation, personal protective equipment, and avoidance of chlorinated solvents are key to preventing phosgene exposure during welding.
