Question
what human activity is most responsible for the damage to the ozone layer?
a the use of freon and cfc spray propellants.
b deforestation and interruption of the water cycle.
c the contamination of groundwater with mercury and pcbs.
d burning of fossil fuels and the subsequent creation of acid rain.
e industrial waste is addd to the local water supply.
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs, including freon) are synthetic chemicals that break down ozone molecules in the stratosphere, causing significant ozone layer depletion. The other options relate to separate environmental issues: deforestation affects water cycles and carbon levels, groundwater contamination impacts aquatic/ human health, fossil fuel burning drives acid rain and climate change, and industrial waste in water supplies causes water pollution.
