Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chlorinated fluorocarbons, such as CFCs, act as catalysts in the destruction of the ozone layer. They initiate a chain reaction that converts ozone (O3) into oxygen (O2) and themselves become regenerated in the process, allowing them to continue to break down more and more ozone molecules. This process continues until they are eventually broken down by natural chemical reactions.
