ओजोन परत की कमी के लिए मुख्य कारक क्या है?
Answers
When CFCs reach the upper atmosphere, they are exposed to ultraviolet rays, which causes them to break down into substances that include chlorine. The chlorine reacts with the oxygen atoms in ozone and rips apart the ozone molecule
The ozone layer prevents most harmful UVB wavelengths of ultraviolet light (UV light) from passing through the Earth's atmosphere. These wavelengths cause skin cancer, sunburn and cataracts, which were projected to increase dramatically as a result of thinning ozone, as well as harming plants and animals.
The thickness of the ozone layer is significant because ozone absorbs ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, acting as a filter against sunburn and other damage. Without the protection of the ozone layer in the stratosphere, terrestrial life as we know it could not survive
to save ozone layer
While the vast majority of ODS usage is either industrial or commercial, individuals can help in the following ways:
Buy air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment that do not use HCFCs as refrigerant.
Buy aerosol products that do not use HCFCs or CFCs as propellants.
