Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) were commonly used in products such as aerosol sprays, refrigeration systems, air conditioning units, and foam-blowing agents. These substances were popular due to their effectiveness and stability; however, they were later found to contribute to ozone layer depletion. As a result, many countries have phased out the use of CFCs in favor of more environmentally friendly alternatives.
