Question

Explain any 2 ways through which chloro Floro carbon can harm the living tissue

Answer 1

Man-made compounds such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrofluorocarbons (HCFCs) and halons destroy ozone in the upper atmosphere (stratosphere). The stratospheric ozone layer makes life possible by shielding the earth from harmful ultraviolet (UV-B) rays generated from the sun.

Answer 2

Exposure to pressurized CFCs, such as may occur with a refrigerant leak, can cause frostbite to the skin as well as to the upper airway if inhaled. CFCs exposed to high temperatures can degrade into more acutely toxic gases such as chlorine and phosgene.

Hope its clear for U..
