Which outcome occurs when HCFC refrigerant leaks from refrigeration system into the environment?

💡 Explanation

When HCFC refrigerants leak, diffusion occurs to the stratosphere where UV radiation breaks them down, releasing chlorine atoms that catalyze ozone depletion, subsequently thinning the ozone layer. Therefore ozone thinning results specifically, rather than corrosion, plastic degradation or reduced UV because these require different chemicals or conditions.
