Explanation:
As I understand it, the main problem with CFC's is that when they reach the upper atmosphere and are bombarded by more UV then they break down, releasing chlorine, which reacts with the ozone, thereby depleting the ozone layer.
The ozone layer protects us and other animal life from some of the harmful effects of the sun's UV radiation, so getting large holes in it is not a good idea.
If CFC's are used in refrigeration, then ultimately they will tend to be released into the atmosphere. To attempt to prevent this, fridge's are usually treated specially when recycled, to capture any CFC's.
