    A New Introducements
    Chloroflourocarbons was introduced into the world as a cooling instrument for like refrigdeorators and air conditioning units. They believed that switching to Chloroflourocarbons that it would be less hazardous but in reality the cholorine was dostroying the ozone
  • Depletion in Antartica

    Depletion in Antartica
    By 1994, the total ozone in October was less than half its value during the 1970s, 20 years previous. This fall in ozone was caused by the use of CFCs commonly used in fridges and so on. These CFCs had made their way into the upper atmosphere where the much stronger UV radiation from the Sun had broken them down into their molecules, releasing the potentially damaging chlorine atoms, that can tear down the ozone
  • Measurements

    Measurements
    The firs tmeasuremnts were taking in 1985 and they realized that the stratospheres ozone levels were low.
  • Deduction

    Deduction
    Over the last 20 years ,chloroflourocarbons, scientist have realized a reduce in ozone in the atmosphere
