| Sending large electrified metal screen in to the upper atmosphere above Antarctica. |
Electron released from the screen will combine with the chlorine atoms for CFC to prevent atoms from destroying ozone. |
The screen might not vrelease enough electrons to be effective. |
| Adding propane gas to the upper atmosphere above Antarctica |
Propane would react chemically with chlorine atoms and prevent atoms from destroying ozone. |
Byproducts of bromine Chlorine reaction might produce other moleculesthat might free more chlorine atoms. |
| Destroying the CFC in the atmosphere by blasting them with beams from high power laser mounted on mountain tops. |
The laser could eliminate CFC before the molecules begin to destroy ozone. |
Laser technology to shoot CFC molecules out of sky does not exist as yet and will probably require vast amount of energy. |
| This process for eradication of polluting gas** |
It will have neutral effect on preventing action of CFC. It will neutralize chlorine atom if suitable manifestation for application is developed. |
Nothing is known. |
