Correct Answer
The correct sequence of events related to ozone layer depletion is as follows:
C. Fridge brought to the house: The use of CFCs as cooling agents in household appliances like refrigerators led to the release of CFCs into the atmosphere.
D. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) used as a cooling agent: CFCs were commonly used as refrigerants and cooling agents in appliances like refrigerators and air conditioners.
B. High levels of chlorine and bromine compounds in the stratosphere: The released CFCs eventually reached the stratosphere and released chlorine and bromine compounds when they broke down.
E. Depletion of the ozone layer: The chlorine and bromine compounds released in the stratosphere catalyze the depletion of the ozone layer, leading to thinning of the ozone layer.
A. Ultraviolet radiation causes skin cancer: With the depletion of the ozone layer, more harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun reaches the Earth's surface, increasing the risk of skin cancer.
