CFC's have a wide range of uses, but are popularly used in aerosol propellants and air conditioning for homes and cars (Singer and Crandall npg) Carbon tetrachloride is one of the major components in making CFC so their damage is similar When they inter the outer atmosphere, They react with ozone chemicals to release chlorine and bromine that in turn deteriorate the ozone and form "thinning" or "holes." This is catastrophic because they are bonded very strongly together and cannot be broken down by water This means they travel into the atmosphere virtually unharmed by rain or decomposition (Goldfarb 282) The reason these are causing such a commotion is the damage they cause to living things on Earth When the ozone depletes, it causes more ultraviolet (UV) rays to hit the Earth's surface than are healthy (Singer and Crandall npg)
