Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) have a lifespan of about 100 years in the atmosphere. They are extremely stable and can travel long distances before being broken down. This is one of the reasons why they are so damaging to the ozone layer, as they can remain in the atmosphere for so long and continue to deplete ozone molecules.
