Energy Resources Questions
The impact of energy resources on ozone depletion is primarily related to the use of certain substances, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), which are commonly used in refrigeration, air conditioning, and aerosol propellants. These substances, when released into the atmosphere, can rise to the stratosphere and interact with ozone molecules, leading to their destruction. The production and use of energy resources that release these ozone-depleting substances contribute to the depletion of the ozone layer, which can have harmful effects on human health and the environment.
