CFC's, chlorofluorocarbon, releases into the atmosphere and makes a type of "barrier" holding back the suns heat and keeps it inside which "causes global warming." This is of course leading to the earths average temperature to increase overall, and supposedly causes the ice caps to decrease in size each year.
Chlorinated Fluorocarbons (CFCs) are synthesised chemicals most commonly used in refrigeration and cleaning products. Since their impact on the atmosphere's protective ozone layer was established, they have been phased out of production and replaced with newer ozone-friendly chemicals. The most likely source of such chemicals now is old refrigeration and air-conditioning installations, including cars made before 1996.
It is produced by refrigerators as it is the bioproduct of coolants. As we all know that the CFCs harm the environment as well as the ozone layer we should reduce the use of refrigerators and cooling systems.
aerosols in the air such as: hairsprays and or body sprays. They cause ozone depletion NOT global Warming.
they are transmitted by air conditioners and refrigerators and by airosol spray/hair spray
CFC's were produced as coolants. They were not knows to be ODS.
Refrigerators
CFCs are neither soluble in water or reactive with it. Rain has no impact on CFCs
Replacements for CFCs (dependding on use) included:HCFCsNitrogenAirPropane
The hole in the ozone layer came about because of the artificially produced gases CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). These contained chlorine and bromine which destroyed ozone. CFCs are now banned. The ozone hole has very little to do with global warming.
The chemical compound used in aerosols that are thought to be harmful to the Ozone are known as Chlorofluorocarbon or "CFCs" for short.

CFC's are produced in refrigerants. They are used for cooling.
CFC's are coolant compounds. They are produced by deodorants, spray cans etc.
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) "ozone depleting substances" are more generic, since other chlorine- and bromine-containing molecules, which are produced by Man, have been found "up there" too. Note that CFCs are not "produced by aerosols", but were intentionally manufactured for the purposes of refrigerant and propellant. Not too many countries are still making / using CFCs.
CFC's are synthetic chemicals produced by man. They react with ozone to deplete it.

A chlorofluorocarbon, or CFC, is an organic compound that contains carbon, chlorine and fluorine. It is produced as a volatile derivative of methane, ethane and propane. CFCs are generally considered as non-flammable.
None at all. CFCs are a chemical compound not a byproduct of the burning of gasoline or diesel.
CFCs are neither soluble in water or reactive with it. Rain has no impact on CFCs
As the CFCs are carried to Antarctica there is a big ozone hole. Chlorine and bromine atoms from CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) separate and destroy ozone molecules, but remain active for several years continuing their destruction. So if more CFCs will be produced in the world more CFCs will be carried to Antarctica by the polar winds and more depletion and the rate of depletion will exceed the rate of formation of ozone molecules resulting in the expansion of ozone hole over Antarctica.
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are non-toxic.

CFCs or chlorofluorocarbons are released when a device that holds it is leaking. Also some aerosols release CFCs into the atmosphere.
