Winters produced less ozone. There is depletion in winters.
Computers do not produce ozone. Ozone is typically generated by electrical discharge, such as lightning or specialized equipment like ozone generators. Computing devices themselves do not have the capability to generate ozone as a byproduct of their operation.
No. Less ozone would cause less depletion, if that were the case. We have less ozone each year, and the rate of depletion does not correlate with the amount we have. See the related questions section below.
Yes, chlorine atoms can react with ozone to produce chlorine monoxide. This reaction can contribute to ozone depletion in the atmosphere.
The ozone over Antarctica is very less. The areas with less ozone are shown with purple color.
Humans produce CFC's. These CFC's react with ozone to deplete it.
In Brisbane, the highest levels of ozone typically occur during the spring months of September to November. This is due to warmer temperatures and increased sunlight, which enhance the photochemical reactions that produce ozone. Additionally, lower humidity levels in spring can contribute to higher ozone concentrations.
No, ozone will not kill produce. Ozone is commonly used in food storage applications to prolong the shelf life of produce by killing bacteria and mold that will shorten the shelf life. Also, ozone will break down natural levels of Ethelyne from the fruit and slow the ripening process. However, it is important to maintain a safe level of ozone and this will vary with produce to not negatively affect the produce. Ozone levels should always be below 0.5 ppm, and usually below 0.08 ppm, the OSHA level for human safety.
Industries can produce ozone friendly products. These products could help in saving ozone.
Ozone depletion means that there is less ozone than there was. We worry about ozone depletion in the upper atmosphere. At the surface, the less the better; it's poisonous.
Marigolds produce ozone in their roots to fight predation of their roots. Kudzu appears to produce ozone to clear an area for it to take over. Hopefully someone can comment how we might predict which plants will make ozone (and delete this sentence...).
Ozone does not produce anything. Ozone layer blocks around 97% of the total radiation received by the earth. It acts as a blanket and keeps the atmosphere cool. It is responsible for the survival of life on earth.
Ozone depletion is the process where ozone holes are created in the ozone layer. It is caused due to the action of chloro-floro-carbons on the ozone molecule to break it down to oxygen.
