Ozone Layer

Ozone is yes a pollutant at ground level. It causes carious respiratory problems.

The ozone in stratosphere affects the life on earth. It protects and shields the surface of earth.

Water is the most abundant greenhouse gas out of the choices.

Ozone depletion in the stratosphere is a big problem.It can be termed as a global problem.

An aeroduct is a proposed form of ramjet which harnesses charged particles in the upper atmosphere.

Regular oxygen molecues are O2; two oxygen atoms bound together. Ozone is THREE oxygen atoms bound together, so "O3". Ozone is commonly formed near high-voltage electricity like lightning strikes where the O2 molecule is broken apart, and each of the single oxygen atoms bind to an O2 molecule to form O3. Ozone also forms where oxygen is incompletely burned, such as in internal combustion engines.

O3 is VERY reactive, and so it readily breaks apart and combines with other compounds. Down low, ozone is an air pollutant, because it's an irritant to the lungs, but up high it absorbs high-energy radiation and contributes to the protective layer of our atmosphere.

Freon (the active agent in refrigeration systems) can react with the ozone and break it up. Down low, no problem, but high in the atmosphere, it degrades the "ozone layer".

However, ozone is also CREATED by high-energy radiation in the atmosphere, just as it is around lightning strikes. So the "ozone layer" problem is generally not as serious as some of the fanatics want to claim.

No, the chlorine and other chemicals in CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) destroy the ozone molecules and weaken the ozone layer.

Tropospheric ozone is bad ozone. It acts as a pollutant.

The ozone depletion is worst at the poles. It is due to the low temperature there. The Polar Stratospheric Clouds are formed at the poles.

The name of treaty was Montreal Protocol. It was signed on 16th of September.

It can be seen to be beneficial to use amber glass instead of regular glass because amber glass has the ability to stop the effects of sunlight by blocking harmful UV rays.

In order to help the ozone layer stop the use of CFC's. They react with ozone to deplete it.

Air pollution causes global warming. This global warming can further cause ozone depletion.

The triatomic form of oxygen that is ozone protects us from the harmful rays of the sun. These rays are called ultraviolet rays and are very harmful for living organisms.

Not just Americans. Everybody has contributed to it.

Then most of the UV rays will enter the earth. It will finish all life on earth.

there will be much less production of electricity, which is a fundemantal human need.

Yes it does. It does disassociate and form ozone.

Increased ground level ozone can cause problems. It is a pollutant.

Carbon dioxide (CO2)

The ozone at ground level is a pollutant. It is trapped by other greenhouse gases.

UV light is absorbed by the ozone layer. It is the harmful part of sun's radiation.

The main ozone hole is not over Arctic. It is because westerly carry CFC's over to the other pole.

The ozone present in stratosphere does this job. It is present as the ozone layer.

The ozone layer is a very vital part as it acts as a shield protecting the earth against the harmful ultraviolet radiations from the sun. These are very high frequency radiations that can cause some very serious problems.
