Does freon damage the ozone?
Freon covers a whole host of compounds, and not all members have been seen in the “ozone hole”, and not all members have been shown to destroy ozone. One class that has been is CFCs ( C hloro F luoro C arbons), which have shown to be in the ozone hole, photochemically destroy ozone, and persist for a long period of time. Others have been more-recently developed that do not have this behavior.
