$\huge\boxed{\fcolorbox{black}{pink}{Answer}}$

Ozone depleting substances are man-made gases that destroy ozone once they reach the ozone layer. The ozone layer sits in the upper atmosphere and reduces the amount of harmful ultra violet radiation that reaches Earth from the sun. Ultraviolet radiation can have detrimental effects on both humans and the environment. For instance inducing skin cancer and cataracts, distorting plant growth and damaging the marine environment.

Ozone depleting substances include:

• chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)
• hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs)
• hydrobromoflurocarbons (HBFCs)
• halons
• methyl bromide
• carbon tetrachloride
• methyl chloroform.

They have been used as:

• refrigerants in commercial, home and vehicle air conditioners and refrigerators
• foam blowing agents
• components in electrical equipment
• industrial solvents
• solvents for cleaning (including dry cleaning)
• aerosol spray propellants
• fumigants.
