Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's) and the ozone hole The story of the ozone hole is a good example of how an apparently harmless class of chemical compounds can become a real danger to life on Earth. It also shows how governments, industry and society can work together to identify an environmental problem and solve it. The ozone hole has taught us that human actions can change the natural state of our climate in unexpected ways. It has also shown us that, if the world community works together in a targetted way, global environmental problems can be effectively dealt with. CFC's are just one class of chemical substance that depletes the ozone layer, but they are the most important one.
