The gas that used to be used in air conditioners and refrigerators, freon, or chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) would damage the ozone layer. Chlorine would separate from the gas and attack the ozone molecules.
These gases are no longer used in air conditioning units. If no further damage occurs the ozone layer will have repaired itself by 2060.
The layer of gases that surround the atmosphere is ozone. It is present as the ozone layer.
CFC's get trapped. They react with ozone to deplete it.
Air pollution is due to greenhouse gases. These gases also cause ozone depletion.
Ozone is a greenhouse gas. However there is little connection between the greenhouse effect and the ozone layer.
There are not two gases in the layer but one. Ozone is the only gas present in the ozone layer.
CFC gases which are pollutants are responsible for the depletion of ozone layer. CFC convert ozone to oxygen and make it useless for the absorption of UV radiation.
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), and halons are the main gases that destroy the ozone layer. These gases are released from human activities such as refrigeration, air conditioning, and aerosol propellants, and they break down ozone molecules in the stratosphere, which protects life on Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation.
Ozone layer is affected by : 1. Human activities 2. Release of CFC gases.
NO, smoke evolved from cracker doesn't effect ozone layer because it does not have gases like chlorofluorocarbon that is responsible for diplition of ozone layer.
No, air-conditioning gases are not environment friendly. They contain CFCs which harm and break the ozone layer. The ozone layer protects us from ultraviolet rays given from the Sun. These rays can cause eye and skin diseases.
Cigarette smoke releases gases that cause greenhouse effect. these in turn cause ozone depletion.
The greenhouse effect and the ozone layer are two separate environmental issues. The greenhouse effect is primarily linked to the increase in greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide trapping heat in the atmosphere, leading to global warming. The ozone layer, on the other hand, is located in the stratosphere and protects life on Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation. Actions that deplete the ozone layer, such as releasing chlorofluorocarbons, have a greater impact on the ozone layer than the greenhouse effect.
