What else can I help you with?
How does octane affect the ozone layer?
None. How much fuel is burned will have a minor effect.
Is Coffee dangerous to the ozone layer?
No. Burned coffee grounds might be dangerous to the ozone layer. And since they are good fertilizer, don't burn them.
How does ozone form from vehicle exhaust?
Petroleum is used for fuel and when it is burned it creates exhaust which releases carbon dioxide which makes up some of the ozone layer. But if not burned completely, it releases other dangerous gases into the air creating pollution.
How much forest land needs to be killed for the ozone layer to completely disintegrate?
Even if all the forests were burned or clear-cut and buried, there would still be an ozone layer. There may be no possibility of life on Earth's surface, but there would still be a region of increased ozone concentration, just as there is on Mars. But there would be no Man, either. Especially interesting is that burning of biological materials (liek trees) releases chloromethane, which is a significant (~17% of depletion, not all from burned trees) known ozone depleter. The oxygen in the atmosphere came from space and from the sea, and those sources will still deliver even if there were no significant ozone. Life can always start anew.
If more fossil fuels are burned you could expect an increase in what?
increase in CO2 and diminishing of Ozone layer
Why is the ozone significant to humans?
well not only does it reflect many of the poisonous sun rays like UV rays and Gamma rays from entering the troposphere, it keeps in the heat that is the resultant of the light waves that passed through the ozone. When we destroy the ozone, it makes the world hotter (global warming). Also, plants cannot survive with too much UV rays, so if there were no ozone layer, the earth would look very barren and burned all over.
How much heat exactly is absorbed by the ozone or what temperature would the earth be if there was no ozone?
23 percent of incoming solar energy is usually absorbed by the ozone. Temperature, not how much
Do irons and ozone affect the temperature of the layers?
Irons for ironing clothes will cause more fossil fuel to be burned, which will heat the troposphere. Ozone absorbs UV-B, which heats the ozone layer. Its effect on the Earth surface temperature (in terms of heating) is very small.
What plastic can give off carbon monoxide when burned?
All plastics give of carbon monoxide when burned, the amount of carbon monoxide depends on what type of plastic is being burned, so don't burn plastic cause too much carbon monoxide is bad for all life on earth and the ozone! :)
How much do cars harm the ozone layer?
They do harm the ozone. But the amount is very less.
Will hfc's damage the ozone?
HFC's will somewhat damage the ozone. But they will not damage as much as CFC's.
Is the concentration of ozone in polluted areas typically much higher than it is in the ozone layer?
No, the concentration of ozone in the ozone layer is typically much higher than in polluted areas. The ozone layer is composed of a concentrated layer of ozone high up in the stratosphere, whereas ozone in polluted areas is formed closer to the ground as a result of chemical reactions between pollutants.
