The manufacturing of refrigerators that do not release chlorofluorocarbons has been made mandatory throughout the world. How will this help to prevent ozone depletion?

Correct option is A

The correct answer is (A) it will reduce the release of CFCs that react with ozone molecules.

Information Booster:

• Ozone is a gas made up of three oxygen atoms (O₃) and is most commonly found in two regions of Earth's atmosphere:
• Stratospheric Ozone: Acts as a shield protecting the Earth from UV radiation.
• Tropospheric Ozone: A pollutant that harms health and the environment.
• Ozone is essential for life on Earth but must be in the correct place in the atmosphere to be beneficial. The depletion of the ozone layer, largely due to human-made chemicals like CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons), has been a significant environmental concern, leading to international agreements like the Montreal Protocol to reduce ozone-depleting substances.
