What did scientist do to check there results about the ozone layer getting thinner?
Scientists collect the ozone concentration. This gives them an idea to check the thinning.
Why should you continue to monitor the ozone?
It is a measure of depleting chemicals. We have staff near the South Pole, and they can do this monitoring too.See "What makes scientists think the ozone layer is thinning?"
How can ozone prevent bacterial growth?
Ozone is a sterilant. Ozone lyses the fat pockets on bacteria, through which they "breathe". This causes them to die quickly. Additionally, ozone will oxidize DNA, should the lysing not be enough. Ozone does not leave any residual anti-microbial effect on surfaces or fluids, as chlorine- or iodine-based treatments do. So if some time is going to pass before the surface / fluid is to be used, one of those compounds will likely be required also.
What do they use to check the ozone levels?
Various instruments are used. However, the satellites remain the favorites.
Satellite pictures show holes in ozone layer?
Newspapers reports give a full insight into what is happening in ozone. The ozone hole is a hole in ozone layer.
Can residual ozone in water be measured using chlorotex?
Chlorotex is used to test chlorine in water.

Scientists collect the ozone concentration. This gives them an idea to check the thinning.
Can you use an ozone generator in conjunction with an ionizer?
Yes, you can use an ionizer and ozone generator together. The ionizer specializes in algae and bacteria control and the ozone generator is an excellent oxidizer. The EPA recommends including a trace amount of chlorine (around 0.5ppm) to act as a residual sanitizer.
What is the best chemical free alternative to an indoor swimming pool other than chlorine or salt?
Ozone is the best choice for an indoor pool. You will still have to have a very small amount of residual chlorine to supplement the ozone system.
What is an absorbing reagent for ozone?
There is no "absorbing" ozone. A thiosulfate will quench it. Indigo trisulfonate will be bleached by it (allowing determination of ozone concentration in solution). A zeolite can adsorbit, to be released upon pressure swing. There is some apocryphal evidence that it can be stored for long periods (months to years) in a vegetable oil matrix, at some significant risk.
What element deplete the ozone layers and how it can be sustained?
Chlorine depletes the ozone layer. We have to keep its amount in check.
Why is it important to monitor ozone levels in the atmosphere?
It is important to monitor the ozone levels. It is to keep check on the depletion.
Need to check the depletion of the ozone layer?
Yes, we need to check the depletion of ozone layer. It is because this layer protects us from the harmful UV radiations of the sun.
Why should you continue to monitor the ozone?
It is a measure of depleting chemicals. We have staff near the South Pole, and they can do this monitoring too.See "What makes scientists think the ozone layer is thinning?"
How can you tell if you are being affected by the ozone layer?
Check for Sunburn.
