The ozone itself is not harmful. The ozone is the layer between us and the sun that keeps the radiation (that comes from the sun) from poisoning us. We humans pollute the air with all kinds of non-organic elements which eat up the ozone layer. We are slowly driving ourselves to extinction.

How do satellites harm the ozone layer?

Satellites themselves do not harm the ozone layer. However, the rockets used to send satellites into space can release exhaust gases that contain ozone-depleting substances, such as chlorine and bromine. Additionally, the use of certain propellants in satellites can also contribute to ozone depletion if released into the atmosphere.


Do mobiles harm the ozone layer?

No, mobile phones do not harm the ozone layer. The chemicals that were previously used in refrigerants, air conditioning systems, and aerosol products were found to harm the ozone layer, but not mobile phones. It is important to properly recycle electronics to prevent harmful chemicals from affecting the environment.


What happens to the ozone layer in the stratoshere?

The ozone layer in the stratosphere helps to protect life on Earth by absorbing the sun's harmful UV radiation. However, human activities, such as releasing chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) into the atmosphere, have led to ozone depletion. This thinning of the ozone layer can result in increased UV radiation reaching the Earth, causing harm to ecosystems and human health.


What are possible causes and effects of ozone depletion?

Possible causes of ozone depletion include human activities releasing chemicals like CFCs into the atmosphere, which break down ozone molecules. Effects of ozone depletion can lead to increased UV radiation reaching Earth's surface, posing risks to human health such as skin cancer and cataracts, as well as harm to ecosystems and wildlife.


What is the manmade chemicals that harm the earth's protective ozone layer?

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are manmade chemicals that harm the earth's protective ozone layer by breaking down ozone molecules. This leads to the formation of ozone holes, which allow harmful ultraviolet radiation to reach the Earth's surface. Efforts have been made to reduce the production and use of CFCs through international agreements like the Montreal Protocol.
