the ozone layer is located in the lower stratosphere. This layer keeps around 95% of harmful ultraviolet( UV) radiation from touching Earth's surface. These UV rays cause cancer. There are already large amounts of people that have skin cancer with just 5% of the possible UV radiation coming in contact with Earth's surface. So if 95% more radiation where to hit Earth, skin cancer would affect everyone, and in much larger amounts. This would most likely lead to shorter life expectancy because of deaths from cancer.
What else can I help you with?
Does DDT harm the ozone layer?
i dont think so.....DDT contains lots of chlorine, a very low vapor pressure, and is biologically active. So it will harm the ozone layer, but it likely to be tied up near the ground rather than reach the ozone layer.
What is ozone layer depletion in Hindi?
this is vry bad thing so tha enviormental pollution are controlled for buses and cars and factries plz dont cut the trees in this year all the trees are unsave plz dont cut trees this is my worning for all
How can you control depletion of the ozone layer?
You can control depletion of the ozone layer by phasing out the use of ozone-depleting substances like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), promoting the use of ozone-friendly alternatives, enforcing international agreements like the Montreal Protocol, and supporting initiatives that protect the ozone layer such as reducing emissions and increasing awareness.
Why must the ozone layer be preserved?
The ozone layer is self-repairing. It does not need to be "preserved", simply not ignorantly attacked. Ozone protects Earth's surface from UV-B. UV-B causes mutation and cancer in all organisms, and reduces crop yields.
How does destroying the ozone layer harm humans?
Only when it depletes, and lets too much UV-B radiation through. The ozone layer (stratospheric ozone) is highly beneficial to life on Earth with no harmful effects. Ozone itself, though, is toxic to humans and is formed in car exhaust, faulty electrical equipment and lightning. Stratospheric ozone is sometimes downwashed into the troposphere as the jet stream passes over mountains giving higher than expected ground level readings in areas where there is no urban / industrial impact.
What will happen to the ozone layer if you dont destroy it?
It won't be destoryed.
How cold does the ozone layer have to be to so icebergs dont melt?
The temp of the ozone layer has no affect on icebergs.
What is ozone layer you dont want the layer definition the other one?
Ozone layer is a magical cover of ozone gas. It protects us from UV rays.
What are the long term effects on the ozone layer?
i dont kn
What will the ozone look like if you dont do anything to destroy it?
If you do not do anything, it would get worse. The ozone hole will be more than big.
What can be done in order to avoid ozone layer destruction?
just dont use CFCs products like areosols theres other bad stuff too but please dont destroy the ozone layer...bye
What has been dont to prevent the ozone layer from getting damaged?
To prevent ozone depletion many steps are taken. It is treated by afforestation.
How are you protected from harmful rays?
The ozone layer keeps back the harmful rays and every day the ozone layer gets thiner and thiner from chlorafloracarbons so we dont age as long
Why is earths current atmosphere made up mostly of nitrogen and oxygen?
Well just saying THE OZONE LAYER IS GETTING DESROYED i know i spelled that wrong So dont eef with the ozone layer
Does DDT harm the ozone layer?
i dont think so.....DDT contains lots of chlorine, a very low vapor pressure, and is biologically active. So it will harm the ozone layer, but it likely to be tied up near the ground rather than reach the ozone layer.
Deacribe what the ozone will look like in ten years if you dont do anything to stop destroying it?
If the CFC are not stopped, ozone will deplete. The hole will grow more bigger.
Good absorber of uv radiation?
Certain materials such as zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, and some types of glass are known to be good absorbers of UV radiation. These materials are often used in sunscreen and protective eyewear to help block harmful UV rays from reaching the skin or eyes.
