Ozone Depletion: Identifying the Primary Culprit - Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)
The main chemicals responsible for ozone layer depletion are chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).
While other substances like halons, methyl bromide, and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) also contribute to ozone depletion, CFCs are the most significant due to their widespread use and persistence in the atmosphere.
