what CFC’s are and how we knew that is what was causing the destruction of the ozone layer
In: 116
CFC = Chloro Fluoro Carbon. Or chlorine, fluorine, and carbon compound. As these compounds break down in the atmosphere, the chlorine continues up to the stratosphere where 1 chlorine molecule can destroy 100,000 ozone molecules.
We can determine that it is the chlorine destroying the stratospheric ozone by taking samples and seeing the amount of chlorine up there.
