Stratospheric ozone depletion due to air pollution has long been recognized as a threat to human health as well as to the earth’s ecosystems. Worldwide air pollution is responsible for large numbers of deaths and cases of respiratory disease.

    greenhouse gases in the atmosphere‚ leading to increased radiative forcing from carbon oxide‚ methane‚ troposphere ozone‚ CFCs and nitrous oxide. The destruction of stratospheric ozone by chlorofluorocarbons is sometimes mentioned in relation to global warming. Although there are a few areas of linkage‚ the relationship between the two is not strong. Reduction of stratospheric ozone has a cooling influence on the entire troposphere‚ but a warming influence on the surface. Thirdly‚ an aerosol is produced

    Ozone depletion describes two distinct but related phenomena observed since the late 1970s: a steady decline of about 4% per decade in the total volume of ozone in Earth’s stratosphere (the ozone layer)‚ and a much larger springtime decrease in stratospheric ozone over Earth’s polar regions. The latter phenomenon is referred to as the ozone hole. In addition to these well-known stratospheric phenomena‚ there are also springtime polar tropospheric ozone depletion events. The details of polar ozone

    Depletion of the Ozone Layer * Function and location of the Ozone Layer The ozone layer is a portion of earth’s atmosphere that contains high levels of ozone. Ozone (O3) is a triatomic molecule consisting of three oxygen atoms. It is an allotrope of oxygen. Ozone is formed when oxygen molecules after absorbing ultra violet photon then converts a single O2 into two atomic oxygen radicals. The atomic radicals then combine with separate O2 molecules to create two O3 molecules. The main function

    Ozone Depletion: An Introduction Planet Earth has its own natural sunscreen that shields us from the sun’s damaging ultraviolet radiation. It’s called the ozone layer: a fragile band of gases beginning 15 kilometres above our planet‚ and reaching up to the 40-kilometre level. Human activities have caused a substantial thinning of this protective covering — not only over the North and South Poles‚ but right over our heads. Stopping ozone layer depletion is one of the major challenges facing the

    thin layer of gas called atmosphere surrounds the Earth. The atmosphere serves two important purposes: it is a filter for the suns dangerous ultraviolet radiation rays and keeps the heat‚ necessary to maintain life on earth‚ within the stratosphere (Vorlat 361). Ultraviolet light is incredibly dangerous to all the organisms within the Earth ’s ecosystem because it causes skin cancer‚ effects the immune system‚ and harms plant and animal life. For that reason the atmosphere and the ozone layer within
