    CFCs released from spray aerosols and leaks from air conditioners and refrigerators can harm human health and ecosystems. When CFCs reach the stratosphere, they destroy the ozone layer which protects the Earth from ultraviolet radiation. Damage to the ozone layer increases UV exposure, leading to skin cancer and cataracts in humans. It also harms plant life and marine ecosystems.
