उत्तर

Ozone in the stratosphere is depleted by chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). These release chlorine atoms that catalytically degrade ozone molecules. Other substances like nitrogen oxides can also contribute to ozone depletion, especially after nuclear explosions. However, CFCs are the primary cause of stratospheric ozone depletion.
