04. Is the ozone layer damaged each time we travel to space? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

The only rocket propulsion by-product that could possibly be a problem is the inorganic chloride ion of potassium chloride. However, unlike organic chlorine, like that found in your air conditioner, inorganic chloride is not a factor in ozone depletion. So, little damage is done to the ozone layer by rockets.
