Nicolas Huynh · Answer 1

When a factory is emitting large amounts of CFCs into the atmosphere, it affects the people in that area by the increase in the level of ocean water. CFCs dissolve in seawater and because they are not reactive, they just circulate until it becomes saturated.

increase in the rate of skin cancer

CFC's are known to react with the Ozone layer and deplete the Ozone layer, because of which more UV radiation reaches the Earth because of it there is an increased risk of skin cancer.
