Answer 1

Answer:

Ozone is found naturally in small concentrations in the stratosphere, a layer of Earth's upper atmosphere. In this upper atmosphere, ozone is made when ultraviolet light from the sun splits an oxygen molecule (O2), forming two single oxygen atoms. If a freed atom collides with an oxogen molecule, it becomes ozone.Damage to the ozone layer is a cause for concern because the harmful ultraviolet (LTV) radiatioo from the sun will reach the earth. This radiation is highly damaging to organisms, for example, ... Reduce the use of ozone depleting substances Eke the chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).
