Weighing functions help us understand how different gases affect the ozone layer and climate. Ozone Depletion Potentials show how much certain gases harm the ozone layer, while Global Warming Potentials compare the impact of greenhouse gases on climate. These tools are used to study the effects of gases like CFCs and halocarbons on the environment. Scientists use these weighing functions to evaluate the risks to our ozone layer and climate.
