the ozone layer is located in the lower stratosphere. This layer keeps around 95% of harmful ultraviolet( UV) radiation from touching Earth's surface. These UV rays cause cancer. There are already large amounts of people that have skin cancer with just 5% of the possible UV radiation coming in contact with Earth's surface. So if 95% more radiation where to hit Earth, skin cancer would affect everyone, and in much larger amounts. This would most likely lead to shorter life expectancy because of deaths from cancer.

Does DDT harm the ozone layer?

i dont think so.....DDT contains lots of chlorine, a very low vapor pressure, and is biologically active. So it will harm the ozone layer, but it likely to be tied up near the ground rather than reach the ozone layer.


Why must the ozone layer be preserved?

The ozone layer is self-repairing. It does not need to be "preserved", simply not ignorantly attacked. Ozone protects Earth's surface from UV-B. UV-B causes mutation and cancer in all organisms, and reduces crop yields.


How does destroying the ozone layer harm humans?

Only when it depletes, and lets too much UV-B radiation through. The ozone layer (stratospheric ozone) is highly beneficial to life on Earth with no harmful effects. Ozone itself, though, is toxic to humans and is formed in car exhaust, faulty electrical equipment and lightning. Stratospheric ozone is sometimes downwashed into the troposphere as the jet stream passes over mountains giving higher than expected ground level readings in areas where there is no urban / industrial impact.


What is a feature of the earth?

One feature of the earth is that it has an ozone layer. Another feature is that the earth has a core. Finally, the earth is a sphere (round).


How can you control depletion of the ozone layer?

The hole in the ozone layer is a natural event that has always occurred. It is due to a lack of sunlight interacting with the oxygen in the upper atmosphere. As long as we have some oxygen in the atmosphere and sunlight hitting that oxygen, we will have ozone in the atmosphere.
