Answer:

Explanation:

Damage to the ozone layer is a cause for concern because the harmful ultraviolet (LTV) radiation from the sun will reach the earth. This radiation is highly damaging to organisms, for example,is known to cause skin cancer in human beings.

Steps being taken to limit this damage are:

Reduce the use of ozone depleting substances Eke the chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).

Do not release untreated CFCs present in ACs, fire extinguishers and refrigerators directly into the atmosphere when repairing them.

Use ozone friendly sprayers in perfumes, insect-repellants, etc.

In 1987, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) succeeded in forging an agreement to freeze CFC production at 1986 levels.
