CFC is heavier than air, how can it be transported to the ozone to cause holes ?

Answer 1

It is not possible for CFC's to make it into the stratosphere to cause any damage, the ozone layer issue is really just a hoax. The create ozone you need sunlight, the holes in the ozone are at the poles where for much of the year there is no sun - no sun - no ozone, which creates a hole. this hoax was created by the UN as an exuse to destroy/undermine vital industries in many countries.

Answer 2

It's diffusion.

Diffusion is when gas spread out to fill the available space around it. All gases do it. It may sink initially, but given enough time it spreads out far as possible. In this case it's our atmosphere.

Diffusion is not same as evaporation. So CFC may sink at first, but it time it will spread out and some of it can reach ozone eventually.

Answer 3

cfc is a gas and can damage the air and be carried up by the wind currents.

Answer 4

Its the breakdown products of CFC's which cause the problem, particularly Chlorine.

Good link which explains the process.

Answer 5

Not all particles are heavier than air, only some. The carbon that travels into the atmosphere is actually lighter than air becuse it is recycled.

Answer 6

Because it's a gas. Given time, all gaseous substances in any environment will become uniformly mixed. A heavy gas may sink to the ground when first released, but it won't stay there.

Answer 7

It (they) can't. All of them seek lower levels.The argument that decomposition products, i. e. F, Cl, and Br waft their way up there is also bogus. These halogens are so reactive they will combine with literally anything long before they can reach the ozone layer. The banning of these products was accomplished through mass hysteria.

Answer 8

^^^^^

What a bunch of morons.

A storm can pick up a truck... house or car and throw it half a mile up... but apparently it cant throw CFS into the atmosphere?

Yeah whatever.
