hii..
CFC-chloro flourocarbons released from refrigerators and air conditioners..
they are responsible for depletion of ozone layer
they react with ozone at upper atmosphere causing it's degradation..
due to depletion of ozone,U V rays are directly induced in humans causing severe skin cancers..
hope it helps...

The description why CFCs are harmful for the environment and the living beings is as follows:
Explanation:
- The chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs are the gases which are added to the refrigerator and air conditioners so as to promote cooling.
- Some of these gases liberate out from these appliances and these are hazardous for the environment.
- This is because of the fact that the CFCs reacts with the oxygen in the stratosphere where these causes the thinning of the ozone layer and promotes widening of the hole in the ozone layer.
- The widening of the hole in the ozone layer is likely to allow the UV rays from sun to enter into the earth atmosphere. The high intensity of UV rays can cause deadly mutations in the living beings and can also cause warming of the earth atmosphere.
- This way if the concentration of the CFCs increased in the atmosphere the protective ozone layer will be lost and this will result in mortality in the organisms.
