What can you do to help reduce the ozone layer?

Answer 1

Ozone in the troposphere must be reduced to stop people and organisms from developing respiratory problems and reduced lung function. Ozone molecules in the troposphere are considered a pollutant. This is where doing things such as reducing your vehicle usage via public transport and walking/riding a bike is considered a good way to reduce the amount of O3 molecules in the troposphere as O3 requires NOx (either NO or NO2) to be produced, as in the equation: NO2 + sunlight --> NO + O which leads to production of O3 by: O(from above) + O2 --> O3 As we can see sunlight is needed, so driving at night instead of during the day can also help. Other ways of reducing ozone include: * Avoiding prolonged idling or jack rabbit starts. * Postpone mowing lawns until evening. * Use latex rather than oil based paints. * Save energy ¾ don't overcool houses or offices. * Wash dishes or clothes with full loads. * Reduce industrial VOC and NOx emissions. Ozone in the stratosphere is important not to reduce as this 'good' ozone layer keeps UV radiation busy in the process of making and destroying ozone molecules so that it doesn't reach the Earth's surface where it can damage plants and animals.

Answer 2

# Switch globally to external combustion engines; # Switch globally to electrically powered vehicles, and control NOx emission from power plants; # Move to smaller cities, and telecommute; # Block all the violet and more energetic light from the Sun; # Remove all the free oxygen from the atmopshere; # Heat the atmopshere to > 390°C and the ozone will spontaneously decompose; # Increase humidity.

Answer 3

1. Don't use cars that use gas and try to buy cars that use electricity.

2. If your a/c in your car is leaking take it to a repair shop quickly or CFC will go in the air and that is bad because CFC hurts our ozone layer.

3. Plus you shouldn't use aerosol cans.

4. You should tell your school about earth's ozone layer so people will help us save the ozone layer.

5. Buy refrigerators with lower watts.

6. Stop using CFC's. CFC means "Chlorofluorocarbon". CFC's are a type of chemical that is used in spray cans to make them spray and in refrigerators to make stuff cold.

Answer 4

In order to help the ozone layer, we must

1. reduce the use of CFC's.
2. Plant more trees.

Answer 5

what can each of one of us do to save the ozone layer

Answer 6

Stop driving cars that use infernal combustion engines.

Answer 7

The ozone layer can be helped by curbing CFC's. They are the ones that actually cause depletion.

Answer 8

To reduce ozone depletion, we have to do many efforts. Banning CFC's is one of it.

Answer 9

Drive less and use bikes and solar powered cars.

Answer 10

In order to save the ozone layer, we can take various steps. Planting trees would do it. We have to stop the deforestation.
