What is a industrial product that damages the ozone layer?
CFC's damage the ozone depletion. It causes decomposition in ozone layer.
Decomposition of ozone can be caused by?
Ozone can be decomposed by absorbing an ultraviolet (UV) photon. This is how ozone protects us from UV light. Ozone is unstable, and decays with time. Ozone is photocatalytically decayed by chlorine or bromine. Some ozone production is blocked by water vapor, and water vapor also provides a decay path for ozone.
What catalyst is effective in destruction of atmosphere ozone?
Halogen Radicals can be called as catalyst in ozone destruction. They speed up the depletion of the ozone gas.
Why ozone is found in upper ATM while oxygen is found in your ATM?
Ozone also stands near ground level besides the nitrogen oxides of smog. At lower pressures the deconversion of ozone into oxygen is slower, and at some altitude the intensity of ultraviolet converts oxygen into ozone at the same rate as its decomposition.
What did the ozone layer that filters ultraviolet radiation originated from?
The ozone layer that filters ultraviolet radiation originated from
How does the ozone layer reduce the amount of ultraviolet radiation that reaches earths surface?
Ozone is (relatively) opaque to ultraviolet light.
Which part of the solar radiation is absorbed by the ozone layer?
The ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by the ozone layer. The ozone molecules do not allow only the ultraviolet radiations to pass through.
What are absorbed by the ozone?
Harmful ultraviolet radiations are absorbed by the ozone layer.
Does the thermosphere absorb ultraviolet?
The ozone layer absorbs ultraviolet radiation. The ozone layer is in the stratosphere. So, the thermosphere does not absorb radiation.
Which scatters ultraviolet light?
Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are the sunscreens that scatter ultraviolet light.
What is an ozone converter?
An ozone converter contains a catalyst that converts Ozone (O3) into Oxygen (O2).
What are the causes of destruction of the ozone?
CFC's are causing destruction. They cause ozone decomposition.
