Answer to Question 1

In a nutshell, stratospheric ozone protects the Earth from harmful UV radiation. Through a complex set of chemical reactions, CFCs and other ozone-destroying chemicals destroy ozone.

Answer to Question 2

In a nutshell, stratospheric ozone protects the Earth from harmful UV radiation. Through a complex set of chemical reactions, CFCs and other ozone-destroying chemicals destroy ozone. International efforts, such as the Montreal Protocol, have sought to ban these chemicals. In the troposphere, though, ozone is a principal component of photochemical smog.
