Conservation of Ozone in Hong Kong The ozone layer present in the stratosphere of the Earth is utmost important to us as it protects us from the exposure of ultraviolet rays which leads to several harmful effects. Without the ozone layer‚ human will be more prone to skin cancer and eye cataracts. Ultraviolet rays can also cause harm to marine life by reducing the amount of planktons and consequently depreciates the amount of fishes in the ocean. Besides that‚ the depletion of the ozone layer disrupts

Essay ozone depletion is a serious problem presently facing the world. The ozone layer protects humans‚ animals‚ and plants from harmful ultraviolet rays. Money and time are being spent on ozone repair‚ but the problem still exists. The ozone layer is a region of the stratosphere containing ozone‚ or O3 gas. The ozone layer is necessary to both plant and animal life on earth because it protects the surface from dangerous ultraviolet light. However‚ manufacturing and household chemicals

ROLE OF YOUTH IN OZONE LAYER PROTECTION Ozone layer plays a vital role in protecting animals‚ human beings and plants from ultraviolet radiation. Ozone layer is destroyed by a group of manufactured or human made chemicals such as chlorine bromine. These chemicals are called "ozone-depleting substances". Ozone layer is destroyed by some natural’s ways and some humane made activities. A single molecule of chlorine can break apart thousands of molecules of ozone. Chlorofluorocarbons the most widely

But there is a significant pending problem in the ozone layer. Each year‚ a large hole appears in it. It is not an actual hole‚ like a hole in a pocket‚ but a thinning in the layer that shows up on satellite pictures. The "hole" is located over Antarctica. It covers an area about the size of the United States. Experiments done in Antarctica show that the hole in the ozone layer appears to let in twice as much ultraviolet radiation as normal‚ according to measurements researchers made there only

Article Reflection: Ozone Layer Ozone: The Pollution Paradox This article was based on information about ozone pollution. In my opinion this article gave a lot of valuable information and I learned a lot of things I never had knowledge of. For example‚ the atmosphere forms and destroys the ozone‚ the ozone can have an effect on the human body and the article also provided information on what we could do about the ozone layer to help the atmosphere.

Ozone Our Global Sunscreen By Mike Carlowicz t’s not often that scientists get to conduct experiments that seem like they come out of a science fiction novel or a video game. Yet‚ that is what some researchers at NASA did a few years ago. Atmospheric physicists Paul Newman and Luke Oman built a simulation of the Earth’s atmosphere and then proceeded to strip away our protective ozone layer. Their computer model reproduced the chemistry and circulation of the air; natural variations in temperatures

The Potential Effects of a Depleted Ozone Layer - Detrykowski "And God said‚ let there be light and there was light and then God saw the light‚ that it was good " ( Genesis 1: 3-4 ). Undoubtedly‚ light is good. Without light man could not survive. Light is the ultimate cosmic force in this universe allowing man to progress and flourish. In the form of heat‚ light from the sun warms the Earth. Light‚ also‚ is the single most important factor influencing the growth and development of plants
