Why is the ozone hole bad for human beings?

Answer 1

It is a problem because it allows more UV rays to enter earth. These UV rays heat up the Arctic zone such as the north pole and Antarctica causing them to melt. This is bad because 1. it destroys polar bear habitats but more importantly because the ice caps in the Arctic regions deflect this rays but as ice melts UV rays hit the ocean and warm the water. As the water warms more hurricane are produce due to the overheating in the water. This is known as the greenhouse effect and it is one of the biggest causes for global warming.

Ozone is not a problem. You may think the depletion of ozone causes global warming. But you are wrong, because ozone is a greenhouse gas. So if you take it away, the earth

will cool down and not warm up.

If you do not believe me checkout en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_gas

Or do research for yourself.

The ozone hole occurs every year, at each pole, when it is late winter / early spring. It has done this ever since there has been an ozone layer... hundreds of millions of years. It is not the hole that is the problem, it is the size and duration that indicates overall ozone layer health.

Answer 2

The ozone layer is a good thing, its destruction is the bad thing. Ozone blocks/absorbs damaging UV rays. Ozone in the tropsphere is pollution, and that is bad. Ozone damages the breathing structures of Man, animals, and plants.

Answer 3

The bad ozone is present in the lower troposphere region of the earth. This ozone is referred to as bad because it acts a s a pollutant and contributes severely in the air pollution along with other pollutants which include carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide etc.

Answer 4

Ozone is not a problem. You may think the depletion of ozone causes global warming. But you are wrong, because ozone is a greenhouse gas. So if you take it away, the earth will cool down and not warm up.

Not sure this is true as we would get more radiation.

This is a very strange answer. The hole in the ozone layer is a problem, because it filters much of the UV radiation from the Sun.

Answer 5

The problem with the O-Zone layer is the holes in it. The O-zone is a layer of gas that protects us from the sun's harmful rays. It is a number of toxins that are causing the O-zone to deteriorate and this is causing problems, and can cause a number of other problems in the future.

Answer 6

Because ozone zone protects us from UV radiation which causes cancer.

Answer 7

The ozone hole is dangerous as it allows the harmful UV to enter. These UV can cause biological problems. They can even alter our DNA.

Answer 8

The ozone hole is important. It is because is allows harmful UV rays to enter through.

Answer 9

Ozone hole is dangerous. It is because it allows most of the fatal UV to pass through.

Answer 10

Ozone layer is good but ozone hole is bad. It is because it allows the UV rays to enter the earth.
