Why are small quantities of chlorofluorocarbons so harmful to the ozone layer?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The chlorine from the chlorofluorocarbons reacts with free molecules of oxygen causing a stop in ozone production. ... Free oxygen atoms can replace the chlorine in chlorine monoxide, releasing a free atom of chlorine which can then recombine with an oxygen atom in ozone, destroying more ozone.
