Question

In Newman and Oman’s simulated experiment, what did they set as the cause for ozone depletion?

Answer 1

In Newman and Oman’s simulated experiment, they simulated the Earth's atmosphere and started studying the depletion of ozone layer.

The results came out to be fascinating as they found out the main cause to be global warming which was enhanced prominently since the invention of CHLOROFLUOROCARBONS (CFCs) which are high stable gases and cause the breakdown of ozone into free oxygen atoms. Thus the CFCs were set as the cause for ozone depletion in this simulated experiment.
