Does ozone near the ground make it harder to breathe?
Ozone at the ground level is a pollutant. It makes harder to breathe.
What is the name of a RED gas that can absorb UV radiation?
It is ozone. It is present as the ozone layer.
What is a shallow zone near the shore?
The proper term used for a shallow zone near a shore is a littoral zone. This zone is the shallow waters between the land and the open water areas.
What atoms in the CFC molecule can destroy thousands of ozone molecules in the upper atmosphere?
The CFC's molecules are ODS. They react with ozone to deplete it. The Chlorine and Fluorine are main atoms.
Montreal protocol was signed. It aims at protecting 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.
What has reduced the amount of ozone in the atmosphere?
The amount of ozone has reduced. It is due to CFC.
Why is ozone day is celebrated?
Ozone day is celebrated to mark the saving of ozone layer. It is celebrated on 16 September.
Why is the ozone a problem at ground level?
because its melting the glaciers and rasing the ocean level also its making earth warmer Ground level ozone is a major component of smog and is responsible for respiratory tract and eye irritations. Exposure to high levels of ground level ozone may result in chest tightness, coughing and wheezing. People with respiratory and heart problems are at a higher risk. Ozone causes leaf damage to many plants and trees. People sometimes incorrectly assume that ground level ozone is the same as the atmospheric ozone that is thought by some to be a contributor to global warming.
Who discovered the ozone layer depletion?
Chloroflourocarbons were first created in 1928 and first marketted in the 1930's. They grew in popularity as non-toxic refrigerants, so about by 1988 consumption was a billion kg a year. Stratospheric ozone levels have been measured since 1956. In 1974 M.J.Molina and F.S.Rowland published a paper indicating that ozone and the chlorine from CFCs could interact to destroy the ozone if UV light was present. In May of 1985 Farman, Gardinar and Shanklin. published a report in Nature showing that ozone levels had dropped to 10% below normal January levels for Antarctica. Reworking old data indicated that there was evidence for the global ozone depletion as far back as 1976. In 1989 Anderson, J.G., W.H. Brune, M.H. Proffett, published in the Journal of Geophysical Research that ClO had been detected in the atmosphere, showing that CFCs were contributing to ozone depletion.
What do thses do to the ozone layer?
These here is not specified. What do what do to the ozone layer?
What are gasses in the atmosphere that absorb solar radiation called?
The ozone gas absorbs UV rays. It is present as ozone layer.
These atmospheric gases, also referred to as greenhouse gases, absorb solar radiation and cause a rise in temperature.
ozone iratation is from your computer :) hope it helps extra facts
Health experts have suggested that ozone emitted from laser printers can lead to breathing problems
Ozone works in space that is our atmosphere. It protects us from harmful UV's.
Why ozone protection has been considered an environmental success story?
Ozone production is very important. It is because the more ozone is produced the thicker will be the ozone layer.
Ozone is not a greenhouse gas as it is only found in the stratosphere?
Ozone *is* a greenhouse gas.
Some ozone is found in all layers of the atmosphere, but it does reach its peak cocentration in the lower stratosphere.
Note that the glass of a greenhouse is not down next to the plants...
What are the percentage uses of CFCs?
The CFC's are used in almost all refrigerants. They provide cooling effect.
Are propellants in aeresol canscarcinogenic?
Propellants in aerosol cans, such as hydrocarbons like propane and butane, are not inherently carcinogenic. However, prolonged exposure to high concentrations of these propellants may cause health issues. It is important to use aerosol cans in a well-ventilated area and as directed.
What natural factors contribute to ozone depletion?
Various natural activities also cause ozone depletion. Volcanic eruptions being the highest of them.
What are some objects located in the ozone layer?
There are no objects in ozone. It contains just the ozone gas.
CFC's are responsible for depletion of ozone. They react with ozone to deplete it.
Why is the ozone layerso important to people?
Ozone is very important to people. It protects them from harmful UV rays of the sun.
