The depletion of ozone layer is due to
-
- chloro fluoro carbon
- carbon dioxide
- sulphur dioxide
- ethane
- chloro fluoro carbon
Correct Option: A
A chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) is an organic compound that contains only carbon, chlorine, hydrogen and fluorine, produced as a volatile derivative of methane and ethane. The manufacture of such compounds has been phased out (and replaced with products such as R-410A) by the Montreal Protocol because they contribute to ozone depletion in the upper atmosphere.
