Question

Name the compound responsible for depletion of ozone?(other than CFC)

Answer 1

All the green house gases like methane, carbon monoxide, perfluoro methane, even water vapour are responsible for depletion of ozone

Answer 2

Answer: The compound which is responsible for the depletion of ozone is carbon tetrachloride and many more.

Explanation:

Ozone layer is defined as the region of Earth's stratosphere which absorbs most of the Sun's ultraviolet radiation. This layer contains high concentration of ozone $(O_3)$ in relation to the other parts of atmosphere.

The substances which lead to the depletion of ozone are termed as ozone depleting substances (ODS)

Some of the ozone depleting substances are:

• Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)
• Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs)
• Hydrobromoflurocarbons (HBFCs)
• Carbon tetrachloride
• Methyl bromide

Hence, the compound which is responsible for the depletion of ozone is carbon tetrachloride and many more.
