| CFCs are very dangerous to the environment because they are rapidly breaking down the ozone layer. The chorine in these chlorofoluorocarbons reacts with the oxygen in the air thus ripping apart the ozone molecules. The chlorofluorocarbons that are found in aerosal cans are negatively effecting the environment by depleting the ozone layer. One clorine molecule is capable of destroying tens of thousands of ozone molecules and speeds up the process of global warming. Due to the dangers CFCs present to the environment, what used to be ozone depleting substances or (ODs) are now manufactured with propelients that do not deplete the ozone layers. You can help preserve the ozone layer by cutting out all CFCs out of your daily life. For instance, instead of buying hairspray in the aresol cans you can buy it in a plastic bottle. Another way to help is to purchase an eco-friendly refrigerator! Our world should become more aware of the dangers of CFCs and put hairspray and other products in plastic spray bottles instead of aresol cans. | |
