CFC’s
HCFC (hydrochlorofluorocarbons)
Hole in ozone will result in higher rates of skin cancer, cataracts, immune disorders, crop damage, & phytoplankton (base of many food chains!)
Troposphere
Created by chemical reactions between oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOC) in the presence of sunlight
Emissions from industrial facilities and electric utilities, motor vehicle exhaust, gasoline vapors, and chemical solvents are some of the major sources of NOx and VOC
Human health impacts – primarily lung damage
