Solution

Chlorofluorocarbons are used in refrigerators, air conditioners, and aerosol spray cans.
When CFCs are released into the atmosphere they deplete the ozone layer of the atmosphere.
As a result, more harmful ultraviolet rays reach the earth.
Any contact with the ultraviolet rays leads to skin cancer, damages the eyes, and kills aquatic plants and animals.
Therefore, chlorofluorocarbons are used in refrigerators, air conditioners, and aerosol spray cans.
