Solution

CFCs: CFCs are gases that are utilised in products such as aerosols and refrigerators, and they can harm the ozone layer. The term "CFC" stands for "chlorofluorocarbon."

CFC is banned in many countries:

  1. Many countries prohibit the use of CFC because it degrades to chlorine atoms, which then degrades or thins the ozone layer.
  2. Thinning of the ozone layer allows dangerous UV radiation to enter the earth and cause sunburn/genetic disorders/skin cancer/affecting forest and marine production.
