The chemicals are destroying the ozone layer. It is because of their reactive nature.

How could ozon be both good and bad for life of earth?

it can be pullutant but it can help in a way


Penyebab dan akibat penipisan lapisan ozon?

Penipisan lapisan ozon disebabkan oleh paparan gas-gas kimia berbahaya seperti klorofluorokarbon (CFC) dan halon yang dilepaskan ke atmosfer. Akibatnya, lapisan ozon di stratosfer menipis karena reaksi kimia antara ozon dan senyawa-senyawa tersebut, yang meningkatkan radiasi UV-B yang mencapai permukaan bumi dan dapat menyebabkan dampak kesehatan yang serius pada manusia dan lingkungan.


What might ozon layer effect?

The ozone layer protects the Earth from the sun's harmful UV radiation. If the ozone layer is depleted, more UV radiation can reach the Earth's surface, leading to increased cases of skin cancer, cataracts, and damage to marine ecosystems. It can also harm crops and other vegetation.


Why does a hole in the ozone layer go over antarctica?

The "hole" in the ozone layer is actually an ozon breach. An ozone breach occurs when CFC's are released into the air. CFC contains chlorine and chlorine reacts with oxygen to form chlorine monoxide and as you may know, the ozone layer is made up of 3 particles of oxygen. When chlorine reacts with oxygen, it takes away 1 particle of oxygen and turns ozones into pure oxygen (O2). This will sink back down into the troposphere and therefore, depleting the ozon layer.


How chlorid change ozone to bad ozon?

Chloride has the potential to break down ozone molecules through a chemical reaction, contributing to the formation of harmful ozone-depleting substances such as chlorine oxide. This can lead to the destruction of the ozone layer in the stratosphere, which protects Earth from the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation.
