Answer:

Ozone depletion occurs when chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons—gases formerly found in aerosol spray cans and refrigerants—are released into the atmosphere (see details below). ... CFCs and halons cause chemical reactions that break down ozone molecules, reducing ozone's ultraviolet radiation.

prevention are.....

Buy air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment that do not use HCFCs as refrigerant. Buy aerosol products that do not use HCFCs or CFCs as propellants. Conduct regular inspection and maintenance of air-conditioning and refrigeration appliances to prevent and minimize refrigerant leakage.

2.CFCs (chlorofloro carbons) from ACs and Refrigerators.

3. Increased pollution. Levels from industrial areas etc.

How can we prevent it?

  • Buy air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment that do not use HCFCs as refrigerant.
  • Buy aerosol products that do not use HCFCs or CFCs as propellants.
