No it doesn't. Diesel exhaust is primarily coal soot, granted it does float around in the air for a short period of time, but then proceeds to fall back down to the ground.

Does gas kill the ozone layer?

Yes.


When will the ozone layer kill us?

It depends on us. If we pollute it, it will kill us soon.


What is a benefit of the ozone layer in the stratosphere?

The main benefit of ozone layer in the stratosphere is it's ability to absorb the UV. These are rays that could kill organisms.


Why is the ozon layer dangerous to humans?

It's cold enough to kill us after a while. The ozone layer, which is high above the Earth's surface, is not dangerous to humans. In fact, it helps protect us from the more harmful effects of the Sun. The Earth would be much more dangerous for humans in the absence of the ozone layer.


How does the ozone layer help in protecting the earth from greenhouse effect?

Ozone layer does not allow UV to pass through which kill the greenhouse gas absorbing plankton. This avoids the greenhouse effect.


Why the ozone layer is important?

Without the ozone layer, the Earth and everything living would be exposed to harmful radiation, which could kill us if we were exposed for too long.


Why is the ozone layer important for your health?

Well if we didnt have the ozone layer, then for 1, without the ozone layer meteors and comets could crash down on earth and kill millions of people because they wouldn't burn up because of the ozone layer, and 2, the suns radiation would probably kill us. That's also why we need to take care of earth because all our fossil fuels are burning away the ozone layer and without it we'll die.


Can the ozone layer kill us?

Exposure to ozone can cause premature death, asthma, bronchitis, heart attacks, and any other cardiovascular problems. For more info on ozone, go here: http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozone


What gases kill the ozone layer?

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons are particularly damaging to the ozone layer. These gases break down ozone molecules in the stratosphere, leading to ozone depletion. Reducing the use and production of these gases has been a key strategy in protecting the ozone layer.


Is the ozone layer always good?

The ozone layer is one of the most important characteristics which makes Earth conducive for life to exist. It protects us from the harmful rays of the sun. Otherwise, we would die due to skin cancer!!! It can also be bad. In the troposphere it contributes to smog, and can kill you.


How does the ozone layer affects the land?

the ozone layer affects earth lands because it can kill many plants and animals by the UV radiation. It can make our land dry and evaporate water. it changes earth climate and weather depending on how much UV radiation we have.


How is ozone layer harmful?

Excessive ozone in the ozone layer will decay rapidly to near current levels. It is unstable and breaks down with time. It would take a catastrophic event to make too much more than we currently do. If the ozone layer stayed where it was, and got twice as thick, then we'd have less UV-B striking Earth's surface, fewer cataracts, fewer melanomas, probably higher crop yields. We would also face extreme global warming as ozone is a greenhouse gas. The cooing of the Antarctic is being blamed on the thinning of the ozone layer, for example. If the atmosphere thinned, and the ozone layer was forced lower, then high levels of ozone (such as peak levels found in the ozone layer) would likely kill most life on Earth in a few decades. Mice that were forced to breathe such levels of ozone for even a day fared very poorly. Ozone is a very strong antiseptic. It is even good with humans for this purpose, so lo level ozone is not a good thing. The ozone layer is amazing resilient though. The "hole" in the ozone layer appears twice each year during each poles winter. This is due to the lack of sunlight. Once the sun returns, the hole disappears very quickly.
