What are the causes and effects the ozone layer depletion?

Answer 1

recently it was discovered that the ozone layerwas getting depleted. various man-made compounds like CFC's (carbon compounds having both flourine and chlorine which are very stable and not degraded by any biological process) were found to persist in the atmosphere. once they reached the ozone layer, they would react with the ozone molecules. this resulted in the reduction of the ozone layer and recently they have discovered a hole in the ozone layer above the antartica. it is difficult to imagine the consequences for life on earth if the ozone layer dwindles further, but many people think that it would be better not to take chances. these people advocate working towards stopping all further damage to the ozone layer!

Answer 2

Causes of ozone layer depletion include human activities releasing chemicals like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons. Effects include increased exposure to harmful UV radiation, leading to skin cancer, cataracts, and damage to marine ecosystems. Ozone depletion also contributes to climate change by impacting atmospheric circulation patterns.
