Why and where do we use freons ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The main reason of ozone layer depletion is due to the release of chlorofluorcarbons ( CGCs) , also known as freons.
These compounds are non-reactive, non-flammable , non-toxic organic molecules and therefore used in refrigerators, air-conditioners, in the production of plastic foam and by the electronic industry for cleaning computer parts, etc.
