Answers
Answer:
Atmospheric data demonstrates that ozone depleting substances are destroying ozone in the stratosphere and thinning the earth’s ozone layer. Ozone depleting substances are chemicals that include chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), halons, carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), methyl chloroform (CH3CCl3), hydrobromofluorocarbons (HBFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), methyl bromide (CH3Br) and bromochloromethane (CH2BrCl). They deplete the ozone layer by releasing chlorine and bromine atoms into the stratosphere, which destroy ozone molecules. These and other ozone depleting substances also contribute, to varying extents, to global warming.
Explanation:
Over the past few years, extensions of the Antarctica ozone hole have spread as far as parts of Argentina, Chile and the British-owned Falkland Islands. In 2000, measurements showed that ozone levels over a number of days were down by up to 70% - with levels dropping below 150 Dobson Units in some places.
