Explanation
Aerosols are chlorofluoro-hydrocarbon compounds released into the air with force in the form of vapour. The main source of aerosols is the emission of jet planes, where fluorocarbons are used. These chlorofluorocarbons deplete the ozone layer in the higher atmosphere. These CFC's have produced a hole in the ozone layer.
