Ozone layer is destroyed by the continues use of CFCs. They react with ozone to decompose it and deplete the layer.
The ozone layer present in the stratospheric region of the atmosphere is being destroyed by certain chemicals. These chemicals are CFCs.
The Rowland-Molina hypothesis suggested that chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) could deplete the ozone layer in the Earth's stratosphere. This hypothesis was significant in raising awareness about the potential environmental impact of CFCs on the ozone layer and ultimately led to the implementation of the Montreal Protocol to phase out the production and use of CFCs.
The ozone layer was depleted from the actions of CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) released into the atmosphere last century. CFCs were used in aerosols and fridges and escaped into the air where the winds gradually moved them all around the world and up to the ozone layer. There chlorine broke from the CFCs and destroyed the ozone.
The protective layer of the atmosphere that is destroyed by CFCs is the ozone layer. CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) break down ozone molecules, leading to ozone depletion. This thinning of the ozone layer allows more harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun to reach the Earth's surface, posing risks to human health and the environment.
The hole in the ozone layer came about because of the artificially produced gases CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). These contained chlorine and bromine which destroyed ozone. CFCs are now banned. The ozone hole has very little to do with global warming.
The 1987 Montreal Protocol got all countries to agree to phase out chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) which were then used in aerosol sprays and refrigeration. Chlorine from CFCs destroyed ozone in the ozone layer which led to the weakening of the layer. Now in 2012 scientists believe that ozone seems to be no longer being destroyed, but it will take up to 2060 before the ozone layer has repaired itself.
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are non-toxic.
CFCs or chlorofluorocarbons are released when a device that holds it is leaking. Also some aerosols release CFCs into the atmosphere.
No, trees do not absorb CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are synthetic compounds used as refrigerants that are primarily broken down in the atmosphere by sunlight. Trees primarily absorb carbon dioxide, not CFCs.
Yes, CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) can be destroyed through chemical reactions with other compounds or by exposure to high-energy ultraviolet radiation in the upper atmosphere. This is important for preventing their harmful effects on the ozone layer.
