Chlorine gas, when combined with carbon and fluorine atoms, forms CFCs. These compounds are stable and can remain in the atmosphere for a long time, causing damage to the ozone layer. The chlorine atoms in CFCs react with ozone (O3) molecules, breaking them apart and depleting the ozone layer.
CFCs are industrial compounds that were widely used in the past as refrigerants, propellants in aerosol cans, and as solvents.
