CFC stand for Chloro Fluro Carbon molecules .
CFC'S are used as coolants in refrigerators ,freezers and Air conditioners manufactured before 1995.
CFC'S are also present in industrial solvents ,dry cleaning agents and hospital sterilants (sterilizers ),aerosols and foam.
All the above materials release a lot of CFC molecules into the atmosphere.
CFC molecules are broken down by ultraviolet radiations which result in release of chlorine and fluorine ,which further reduce the ozone layer
They react which ozone and deplete it.
