CFCs and Ozone Layer Impact by tawanakumbula is a document available to read on EtoBox.

CFCs, or chlorofluorocarbons, are chemicals that were widely used as coolants and propellants but contribute to ozone layer depletion. The ozone layer, which protects against harmful UV radiation, has been significantly affected by CFCs, leading to increased skin cancer rates, particularly in polar regions. The Montreal Protocol in 1987 successfully banned CFCs, resulting in a stabilization of ozone levels, with predictions of future recovery despite ongoing challenges with alternative greenhouse gases.
