Which outcome directly results when halogenated refrigerant degrades via photolysis in the stratosphere?

💡 Explanation

When halogenated refrigerants reach the stratosphere, UV radiation causes photolysis because C-halogen bonds break. This releases halogen radicals which catalyze ozone destruction via chain reactions, accelerating ozone depletion. Ozone depletion acceleration directly follows; acid rain, warming, or flammability changes involve different chemical pathways.
