Atmospheric Physics
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are a class of man-made compounds consisting of chlorine, fluorine, carbon, and hydrogen. These substances were widely used as refrigerants, propellants in aerosol sprays, and solvents due to their stability and effectiveness. However, their release into the atmosphere has significant implications for atmospheric gases and chemical reactions, particularly in the depletion of the ozone layer and their contribution to global warming.
