What are chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and why are they dangerous
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are a group of compounds which contain the elements chlorine, fluorine and carbon. At room temperatures, they are usually colourless gases or liquids which evaporate easily. They are generally unreactive and stable, non-toxic and non-flammable.
CFC'S or Chlorofluorocarbons are molecules which demolish the ozone layer. The ozone layer is made up of O3 or ozone molecules these reflect UV rays (harmful ultra violet ligh â¦ t) the CFC'S smash up the O3 into O2 molecules (the type we breathe) these do not reflect UV so we suffer.
