1.Crop losses
2.Increases in eye diseases
3.Skin Cancer
4.Reduced marine life
5.Deforestation
6.Increased ground level ozone
What happens when CFC or HCFC molecules get in the stratosphere & free atoms of Chlorine are set
free?
, AM
EX
These atoms attack Ozone Molecules causing the formation of Chlorine Monoxide (CLO), after colliding
with another Ozone Molecule, causes 2 Oxygen (O2) molecules to be made & leaving an atom of
chlorine to act as "Free Agent" starting the process over until 100,000 molecules of Ozone are destroyed
by just one atom of chloride.
