How do cfc's impact Ozone?

Question

Can someone tell me a bit how CFC's impact Ozone?

Answer 1

CFC's are chlorofluorocarbons, they contain a weakly bonded chlorine atom that easily bonds with the oxygen atoms in Ozone chlorine atoms are very adulterous (they don't stay bonded long) and they quickly dump one atom of oxygen to break apart another ozone molecule they can persist in the stratosphere for up to 110 years which makes them even more troublesome

Answer 2

They do not , The ozone layer is made from the solar winds colliding with the magnetic field. Neither of these things are under the control of man.
To think that CFC at a regular time of the year all of them rush to the south pole to eat a hole in the ozone layer, u are giving the CFC intelligence ??

Answer 3

Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC-12) affects the Ozone in many ways. CFC are commonly found in your vehicle's air conditioning unit, home air conditioners, refrigerators, and aerosol cans. These molecules enter the Stratosphere layer of the Ozone, which can cause a break. This break in the Ozone enables pollutants to enter our atmosphere. The Ozone protects us from the Sun’s harmful UV rays. Without the shield of protection, it can lead to skin cancer. Lung cancer and eye cataracts could also develop. Our ecosystem would become imbalanced and plants and animals would be in danger of extinction, such as Polar bears.

Answer 4

well, chloro-flouro carbons(CFC) produce free radicals and catalyse the decomposition of ozone(O3). ozone has 3 oxygen atoms and is highly unstable.when it comes in contact with CFCs, it decomposes into oxygen. Ozone has this property of reflecting ultravoilet rays. when the ozone layer gets depleted, most of humanity will die of skin cancer....first it would be whites, because of the low melanin pigment in the skin which gives the dark color and helps keep of UV rays....so start tanning yourself now to avoid dying of cancer...

Answer 5

I cannot nor can any scientist as C.F.C's are only a suspected ozone depleter! That's right they don't even know if it does and Governments put a ban on them!
