The world's oceans are huge gas storage facilities, including chlorofluorocarbons. They have the ability to deplete the ozone layer. Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have come to this conclusion.

The oceans are now absorbing ozone-depleting chemicals, but by 2075, on the contrary, they will begin to release them into the atmosphere.

It is mainly a type of chlorofluorocarbon known as CFC-11. This chemical is used in the manufacture of refrigerants and insulating foams.

Scientists believe that by 2130, the oceans will emit enough gas to affect the climate of the entire planet. At the same time, the pace of global warming may bring the onset of these processes closer to 10 years.
