Write short notes on Ozone depletion


0
  • Ozone Layer: A layer of Ozone in the lower stratosphere protects all life on earth from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. However, this Ozone Layer is destroyed by CFC gases, which are used in aerosol cans, Refrigerators, Air Conditioners, Industrial Solvents, etc.
  • Depletion: When released into the air, CFC gases rise. In 7 to 10 years, they reach the stratosphere, and destroy ozone molecules and remain for 75 to 130 years, continuing all the while to break down additional ozone molecules.
  • Effect: Shrinking of the Ozone Layer and consequent increase of UV rays will lead to – (a) new cases of shin cancer, and (b) destruction of 75% of the world’s major crops that are sensitive to UV light.
