Will you die if the ozone layer disappears?

Ozone will always be present as long as we have sunlight and oxygen in our atmosphere. In order for ozone to completely disappear, we would have to be missing one of these two vital ingredients. So, the answer has to be a yes. Without the building blocks for ozone, we would be a dead planet.

In general, no. Some slime forming organisms are immune to ozone's effects. And colony forming organisms will push dead bodies between the colony and ozone. But anything else is dead.


What is the role of NOx in ozone depletion?

NOx is the byproduct of water vapor blocking one path of ozone production. An oxygen atom is temporarily stored in an unstable state on a nitrogen molecule (N2O*). Encountering a water molecule stabilizes the NOx. NOx does not itself decay ozone, but acts as a "getter" for water vapor (further protecting ozone). NOx is like the dead body for a stillborn ozone molecule.


How will the ozone look like in ten years?

It will look really bad because we will all be dead in 2012 and the world will end.


How is ozone good for us?

Ozone helps protect us from harmful UV radiation by absorbing most of it in the Earth's atmosphere. It also plays a role in reducing air pollution by removing pollutants through chemical reactions. Additionally, ozone therapy has been used in medicine for certain therapeutic purposes, although its benefits are still under debate.


Is nitrous oxide the main ozone threat?

No. Nitrous oxide is the "dead body" of what could have been an ozone molecule, if water vapor had not gotten to the excited and unstable nitrogen and oxygen "free radical" first. The main threat is water vapor in that case.

No. The ozone is stratosphere is good ozone. The ozone in troposphere is bad ozone.


What cause troposphereic ozone?

The tropospheric ozone is bad ozone. It acts as a pollutant.


What is the difference between stratospheric ozone and photochemical ozone?

Stratosphere ozone is good ozone. Photo chemical ozone is pollutant.

Most of the ozone is found there. The ozone present there is good ozone.


What is interfering with the ozone layer?

The ozone depleting substances are interfering with ozone. They destroy the ozone.
