Ozone Layer

The ozone is made up of oxygen gas. 3 single atoms of oxygen form ozone.

The ozone layer protects us from harmful ultra violet(UV) beams

The source of ozone is actually the oxygen present in the high latitudes of the atmosphere. The UV rays are the ones which help to convert oxygen into ozone.

Chloroflourocarbons are not directly hazardous to humans, the chlorine in them rises to the ozone and turns the ozone into normal oxygen, which does not protect us from cosmic radiation, hence the hole in the ozone layer.

Yes, ozone at the surface of the earth is harmful as it is a greenhouse gas. However the ozone at the atmospheric level,it protects us from the harmful UV radiations of the sun.

Ozone in the troposphere requires four things to be made: # Oxygen molecules, # NOx (the combustion byproduct), # VOC (from fuel and natural sources), and # Violet or more energetic light from the Sun. So like fighting a fire, you can remove / control any one of them, and control production of ozone in the air we breathe. # Depleting oxygen - bad idea, kills all animal and human life, and our precious tonnage won't be able to run. # Park the tonnage, and either take public transporation or telecommute. Nothing has to die. # Convert wholesale to hydrogen or ammonia fuel cells, and biologically engineer all the natural organisms to stop producing and releasing VOCs into the air. Have to drive the other species extinct. # Only go outside, or drive tonnage at night. #2 and #4 don't require major changes to all of Nature, just in how we behave.

Yes. Ozone is constantly being made by the Sun. So all we have to do is stop adding ozone depleters to the upper atmosphere.

It allows more ultraviolet radiation to reach the surface of the earth, rather than being filter by the atmosphere. This is dangerous to animals & humans.

See "What is causing the depletion of the ozone layer?"

Well you see, The environment of their was very grassy. However, once and a while they would rampage and got to your grammer packets and point out that the car is lucys or that the boot is bobs. These are very dangerous creatures. DO NOT APROCH THESE WILD BEINGS!!!

The "bad ozone" is in the troposphere. It is no different from the ozone in the ozone layer. The problem is ozone is an irritant and can give rise to a number of toxic substances. This doesn't make a difference for us in when it is in the ozone layer, many miles above us, but when it is in the troposhere where we live we can feel its effects directly.

The ozone layer gets depleted where temperature is cool. It is because of the property of ozone.

No.

humans pollute the environment mainly because they dont believe that the little polluting that they do can cause a big amount of harm to the ozone layer. The fact that million or more individuals pollute the environment causes a higher percentage of damage towards the ozone layer. Up north or places that are extremely cold begin to become destroyed ,the ice melts and the cold areas become warmer causing the polar bears habitat to be gone. This is a major problem.

Over all the atmosphere, less than 0.0001%.

No. It will lyse all the cells lining your esophagus, and destroy your lung tissue. Additionally, ozone with a concentration greater than about 10 wt% is explosive, and will spontaneously deflagrate back to hot oxygen at the tiniest spark.

Air pollution with gasses like methane, CFC and carbon dioxide are depleting ozone layer whcih increasing the chance of harmfull rays of sun to come to earth and also which led to increase in global warming.

The ozone is a three atom gas. It is important not to damage it because it protects us.

Combustion of (fossil) fuels: it creates fumes which are toxic to humans and other wildlife;

Release of CFC's: destroys the ozone layer and damages the Earth climate;

Killing plants and animals: destruction of ecosystems and biodiversity has complex drawbacks many of which are difficult to foresee;

Production of weapons: deadly for both animals and humans;

Production of motor vehicles: kills about 1 million humans annually.

Ozone is not persistent; it will spontaneously decay into oxygen.

Manmade chemicals like chlorofluorocarbons and bromofluorocarbons are the major depleters of the ozone layer. The chlorine and bromine separate from the CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) and destroy the ozone molecules.

There is no actual break in the ozone layer. The "hole" is an annual event above the poles caused by the lack of sun reaching the ozone layer.

CFC's are believed by some to cause a contributing change in this layer. The lagest "hole" recorded occurred decades before CFC's were created. The primary cause for ozone is lack of sun, not any gas.

It is unlikely. The "hole" is not a hole at all. It is a thinning of the ozone layer (near each pole) that occurs annually during each poles winter. These are primarily caused by a lack of sun. The rest of this thinning is caused by solar activity, such as solar flares.

The worst thinning of this layer occurred in 1858, which is also the year that recorded the worst solar activity. Even if we had massive solar flares, that did stripe the planet of all ozone in this layer, we would see the immediate rebuilding of this layer.

Ozone is created by oxygen's contact with sunlight. This is why we only see this thinning during each poles winter and only in areas that see no sunlight for weeks at a time. No thinning is recorded at or near the equator.

There are numerous health effects that can be caused by deterioration of the ozone layer, but they all center around the respiratory tract. Symptoms of exposure include coughing, shortness of breath, and difficulty taking deep breaths.

The ozone forming in lower atmosphere is bad. Downside the upper atmosphere one is good.
