Yes they do. Halons and CFC's both destroy ozone.
False. The main cause of the thinning of the ozone layer is the presence of halogen atoms in the stratosphere from man-madeHalocarbon refrigerants (CFCs, freons, halons).
The depletion of ozone in stratosphere is due to the continues usage of CFCs. These cfc contribute to the depletion of ozone molecules.
CFCs are swirled around the world by the global winds. This can take up to ten years for them to reach the lower stratosphere but when there they are still effective at destroying ozone. CFCs in fact have a lifespan in the atmosphere of between 50 and 75 years.
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), halons, carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), and methyl chloroform (CH3CCl3) are the main chemicals produced by humans that have been found to damage the ozone layer. These substances contain chlorine and bromine atoms, which can destroy ozone molecules in the stratosphere, contributing to the depletion of the ozone layer.
They react with ozone. Decompose it and cause ozone depletion.
The ozone layer, which is part of the stratosphere, is the most affected by fluorocarbons. When chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs are released into the atmosphere, they migrate from the troposphere to the stratosphere after about 3 to 5 years. These CFCs destroy the ozone layer.
The detailed mechanism by which the polar ozone holes form is different from that for the mid- latitude thinning, but the most important process in both trends is catalytic destruction of ozone by atomic chlorine and bromine .The main source of these halogen atoms in the stratosphere is photodissociation of chlorofluorocarbon ( CFC) compounds , commonly called freons , and of bromofluorocarbon compounds known as halons. These compounds are transported into the stratosphere after being emitted at the surface . Both ozone depletion mechanisms strengthened as emissions of CFCs and halons increased .

CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) destroy ozone in the ozone layer.

The humans destroy ozone by usng CFCs. These are compounds which react with ozone to deplete it.
Chlorine and bromine in the man-made gases like halons and freons (CFCs).
Yes, CFCs can destroy the ozone layer. They react with ozone present in ozone layer and decompose it.
No, the chlorine and other chemicals in CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) destroy the ozone molecules and weaken the ozone layer.
