CFC have a continuing effect on ozone layer as:
1. | the Cl atoms formed by them only act as catalysts in reactions causing degradation of ozone |
2. | the Cl atoms formed by them are used up in reactions causing degradation of ozone |
3. | they are being produced in increasing amounts all over the world |
4. | they are efficiently absorbed by the atmospheric water vapours |
