Answer:

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are a group of odorless manufactured chemicals. Because they damage the earth’s ozone layer, CFCs have been banned since 1996.

Before CFCs products were banned, they were used in aerosols, refrigerators, air conditioners, foam food packaging, and fire extinguishers. Prior to 2009, CFCs were used in inhalers to control asthma. The last two types of CFC inhalers were phased out in 2013.

CFCs are also greenhouse gases that affects the environment by contributing to global warming.

Answer:

Chlorofluorocarbons, also known as CFCs, consist of chemical compounds made up of chlorine, fluorine and carbon. CFCs are particularly harmful when released into the atmosphere because of their destructive reaction with O-zone particles, which provide the Earth with a protective layer against UV radiation.
