What are the chief pollutants of the atmosphere, which are most likely to deplete the ozone layer?

  1. Sulphur dioxide
  2. Nitrogen oxide and Fluorocarbons
  3. Carbon dioxide
  4. Carbon monoxide

Correct answer: Nitrogen oxide and Fluorocarbons

Solution

Nitrogen oxides and fluorocarbons are major ozone-depleting pollutants because they participate in reactions that break down ozone molecules in the stratosphere. The other options are important air pollutants, but they are not the chief causes of ozone layer depletion.
