explain the factors responsible for depletion of Ozone layer in atmosphere
Answers
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are the primary cause for the ozone layer depletion. Industrial products including solvents, soaps, spray aerosols, insulating foams, 'take-away' containers and cooling utilities such as refrigerators and air conditioners use chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)
Chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs are the main cause of ozone layer depletion. These are released by solvents, spray aerosols, refrigerators, air-conditioners, etc. The molecules of chlorofluorocarbons in the stratosphere are broken down by the ultraviolet radiations and release chlorine atoms.
