Do the internal combustion engines such as those on planes and cars destroy the ozone layer?

People told me this is true but I learned in school that it is not. I heard that they actually produce ozone sometimes.Do the internal combustion engines such as those on planes and cars destroy the ozone layer?
No, carbon emissions have no effect on the ozone layer. Ozone is destroyed more by CFCs, such as aerosol propellant and air conditioning fluid (freon).





Carbon emissions contribute to greenhouse warming, but that is a different process.Do the internal combustion engines such as those on planes and cars destroy the ozone layer?
yes they do the carbon emissions are slowly destroying the ozone layer.
lol, with the Avatar
Very slightly. It is true that CFCs are primary responsible for the depletion of the ozone layer, however other molecules can react with ozone that essentially destroys it. Cars emit various forms of nitrous oxides (NOx) and sulfate compounds in addition to carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Some of these can react with ozone, however they are not the primary causes of ozone depletion.
ur school is rite ...... check dis out for more
