Manufactured chemicals, precisely manufactured halocarbon solvents, refrigerants, foam-blowing agents, and propellants are the ozone-depleting substances or ODS, known to be the main cause of depletion of the ozone layer. The ODS are moved to the stratosphere layer after being pushed away from the surface post tumultuous mixing, faster than molecules can even settle.
