Give full form of CFC. State two effects of depletion of ozone layer in the atmosphere.

Dear Student,

Scientists also discovered that the thinning in the ozone layer was caused by increasing concentrations of ozone-depleting chemicals – chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs (compounds with chlorine and/or fluorine attached to carbon) and to a lesser extent halons (similar compounds with bromine or iodine).

Dear Student

Your answer is given below :

Full form of CFC is Chlorofluorocarbons.

Effects Of Ozone Layer Depletion : The depletion of the ozone layer has harmful effects on the environment. Let us see the major effects of ozone layer depletion on man and environment.

Effects on Human Health : The humans will be directly exposed to the harmful ultraviolet radiations of the sun due to the depletion of the ozone layer. This might result in serious health issues among humans, such as skin diseases, cancer, sunburns, cataract, quick ageing and an weakend immune system.

Effects on Animals : Direct exposure to ultraviolet radiations leads to skin and eye cancer in animals.

Effects on the Environment : Strong ultraviolet rays may lead to minimal growth, flowering and photosynthesis in plants. The forests also have to bear the harmful effects of the ultraviolet rays.

Effects on Marine Life : Planktons are greatly affected by the exposure to harmful ultraviolet rays. These are higher in the aquatic food chain. If the planktons are destroyed, the organisms present in the lower food chain are also affected.

Chloro fluoro carbon:CFC

Ozone layer depletion?causes increased UV radiation levels at the Earth's surface, which is damaging to human health. Negative?effects?include increases in certain types of skin cancers, eye cataracts and immune deficiency disorders.

Hope this will help you
