Ozone layer depletion is the thinning of the ozone layer present in the upper atmosphere. This happens when the chlorine and bromine atoms in the atmosphere come in contact with ozone and destroy the ozone molecules. One chlorine can destroy 100,000 molecules of ozone. It is destroyed more quickly than it is created.

Ozone layer depletion is the reduction of the amount of ozone in the Stratosphere, caused by substances formed from break down of ozone depleting substances.

Ozone layer depletion mainly occurs by :

            

  • \rm\dashrightarrow{Chlorine}

  • \rm\dashrightarrow{Chlorine\:Oxide}

  • \rm\dashrightarrow{Chloro\:Fluro\:Carbon}

  • \rm\dashrightarrow{Nitrogen\:Oxide}

           

______________________________

            

Due to the release of chemical compounds containing gaseous bromine or chlorine from industries or other human activities causes ozone layer depletion.
