The ozone layer has a thinning at each pole for a short period of time each year. The hole occurs during the portions of time when no sunlight can react with the layer. This is the only real thinning that has occurred to date and has been doing so for eons.
The principle threat to humans from a thinner ozone layer is that of skin cancer. If you were to go to either pole during the coolest parts of their season and try to sun tan. You do stand a slight increased chance of skin cancer and cataracts. You stand and infinite chance of frost bite trying this maneuver. My suggestion is to stay in the populated areas of the world when tanning. They have not seen any decrease in the thickness of the ozone layer.

What are the three main substaces that cause ozone depletion nd how the process occurs?
Ozone depletion is caused by UV, CFC and CO2. They are the natural and man made ODS.
What are the three atoms in ozone?
Ozone is the triatomic form of oxygen. All the three atoms in ozone are of oxygen.
What chemicals make up bad ozone?
Ozone is a molecule composed of three oxygen atoms (unlike the normal oxygen molecules which contains only two oxygen atoms). All ozone has the same composition, there is only one kind of ozone. Whether ozone is considered to be good or bad depends upon the location of the ozone, not the composition. Ozone at high altitudes is good, because it protects us from ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Ozone at ground level is bad, because it is harmful to our health if we inhale it.
Is Ozone a ion?
No ozone is not an ion. It is a molecule which is formed by three atoms of oxygen.
How many molecules are in the ozone?
There are three molecules in ozone. It can be man made from oxygen, with a high voltage electrical discharge, that splits the oxygen from two molecules into three which gives you ozone.
What are three negative effeacts of ground level ozone?
1. It is a pollutant2. It can cause skin problems. 3. It can cause breathing problems.
What are three health problems caused by nutrients?
Something as beneficial as nutrient-rich fruit can actually cause serious health problems. The "natural" fruit sugar aggravates "candida" conditions and is dangerous in diabetes. And will make teeth fall out, as common for long-term fruitarians.

What are the three atoms in ozone?
Ozone is the triatomic form of oxygen. All the three atoms in ozone are of oxygen.
What is the name of the molecule composed of three atoms of oxygen?
Ozone consists of three oxygen atoms (symbol is O3).
What down physicalproperties of ozone?
Ozone is a molecule of three atoms. All three atoms are of oxygen.
Is the ozone made out of three layers?
No, it is not. Ozone is a single layer.
Where do you get ozone oxygen?
Oxygen and ozone are allotropes. These are made of oxygen atoms. Ozone is its three atomic form.
What are 3 problems caused by a peacocks large tail?
Three problems caused by a peacock's large tail include slows down the male, serves no useful purpose and makes him conspicuous to predators.
What gas molecule found in Earths atmosphere is made up of three oxygen atoms?
You are thinking of ozone.
What chemicals make up bad ozone?
Ozone is a molecule composed of three oxygen atoms (unlike the normal oxygen molecules which contains only two oxygen atoms). All ozone has the same composition, there is only one kind of ozone. Whether ozone is considered to be good or bad depends upon the location of the ozone, not the composition. Ozone at high altitudes is good, because it protects us from ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Ozone at ground level is bad, because it is harmful to our health if we inhale it.
What are some charecterisctics for ozone?
Ozone is a three atom molecule. It is an isotope of oxygen.
