When CFCs are present in the stratosphere they reacted on by ultra violet light to release a chloride ion. The ion breaks down an ozone molecule to create an oxygen molecule and ionic oxygen. The ionic oxygen releases more chloride ions to break down more ozone and CFCs
The end result is the ozone is converted to oxygen quicker than natural processes can replace it
1. CFCs help in refrigeration but destroy the ozone layer when released into the atmosphere
No, the chlorine and other chemicals in CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) destroy the ozone molecules and weaken the ozone layer.
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are substances that have been identified as a major factor affecting Earth's ozone layer. When released into the atmosphere, CFCs break down and release chlorine atoms that can destroy ozone molecules.
Plastic does not directly destroy the ozone layer. However, when plastic is incinerated, it can release harmful chemicals into the atmosphere, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) which can deplete the ozone layer. Additionally, plastic pollution can indirectly contribute to ozone layer destruction by promoting climate change, which can affect the stability of the ozone layer.
The chemical mainly responsible for ozone deplation are CFC's. They contain chlorine and fluorine which react with ozone to destroy it.
They are carried by westerlies. They destroy the ozone.
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) destroy the ozone layer allowing harmful radiation to reach the earth.

CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) destroy ozone in the ozone layer.
No, the chlorine and other chemicals in CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) destroy the ozone molecules and weaken the ozone layer.

Yes, CFCs can destroy the ozone layer. They react with ozone present in ozone layer and decompose it.
The ozone layer, which is part of the stratosphere, is the most affected by fluorocarbons. When chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs are released into the atmosphere, they migrate from the troposphere to the stratosphere after about 3 to 5 years. These CFCs destroy the ozone layer.
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are substances that have been identified as a major factor affecting Earth's ozone layer. When released into the atmosphere, CFCs break down and release chlorine atoms that can destroy ozone molecules.

The chemical mainly responsible for ozone deplation are CFC's. They contain chlorine and fluorine which react with ozone to destroy it.
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are primarily responsible for the reduction of the ozone layer in the atmosphere. When CFCs are released into the atmosphere, they can break down ozone molecules, leading to the thinning of the ozone layer.
