Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are responsible for ozone layer damage. CFCs are an artificial compound of chlorine, fluorine, and carbon that is used in aerosol cans, refrigerators, and air conditioning units. When CFCs are released into the atmosphere, they react with the ozone layer and cause a breakdown, leading to a thinning of the ozone layer. This allows harmful UV radiation to reach the earth's surface and increases the risk of skin cancer, cataracts, and other harmful effects on the environment.
