    Ozone is O3 which in the troposhere is dangerous because it irritates eyes and respiratory systens, in this case it is a foe. But in the stratosphere where their is an abundance of harmful UV rays O3 splits into O free radical and O2 thus stopping these harmful UV rays from reaching the earth...

    CFCs are dangerous because they release an chlorine free radical, which in the troposphere reacts with the ozone (that is toxic) and save lives. But due to their inert nature, they float in to the stratosphere, where the ozone is NOT harmful but helpful in blocking harmful UV rays reaching...
