The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer is an international treaty designed to protect the ozone layer by phasing out the production and consumption of ozone-depleting substances (ODS), such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), halons, carbon tetrachloride, and methyl chloroform. It was signed in 1987 and has been successful in reducing the atmospheric concentration of ODS.

- Consider the following statements about Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) : 1. CFCs remain inert in the troposphere but slowly diffuse into the stratosphere. 2. CFCs in the upper atmosphere are subjected to UV radiations, generating free radical chlorine that immediately reacts with O₃ to form a radical called chlorine monoxide (ClO). 3. Each ClO can initiate a series of chemical reactions, leading to the destruction of the ozone layer. How many of the statements given above is/are correct ?
