What is the impact of chlorine and bromine atoms?
– Chlorine and bromine atoms from halogen gases and halocarbons react with the ozone layer converting it into oxygen. A single atom of chlorine or bromine can destroy hundreds of molecules of ozone before reacting with some other gas and breaking the cycle. A small amount of chorine or bromine gas has huge impact on the ozone layer. Their impact is even more in the Polar Regions, since atoms of chlorine and bromine has the tendency to reach very higher levels in the cold atmospheres.
