Brief Explanations

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are known to break down ozone molecules. When CFCs reach the stratosphere, they release chlorine atoms. These chlorine atoms react with ozone ($O_3$) to form oxygen ($O_2$) and chlorine monoxide ($ClO$). This process reduces the amount of ozone in the ozone layer.
