What is ozone? Name the chemicals that damage the ozone layer.

The Ozone layer is a region mainly found in the lower portion of the stratosphere, from approximately 20 to 30 kilometers above Earth. It absorbs most of the Sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation.

CFCs (Chlorofluorocarbons) are the group of gases which are mostly released from industries, refrigerators and air conditioners. These gases cause depletion of ozone layer.
