Question:

What is ozone ? Why is the damage to ozone layer a cause for concern ? What steps are being taken to limit this damage ?

Answer:

Ozone Layer is a molecule of three oxygen atoms .

$o_{3} \rightarrow \: o = o \rightarrow \: o$

Ozone layer is very important for our existence of life on Earth because it absorbs most of the harmful UV rays coming from the Sun . The

The UV rays radiation's have extremely harmful effects on human being other animals as well as plants .

For example :

It can cause skin cancer , cataract , damage immune system .

This decrease has been linked to synthetic chemicals like CFCs which are used as refrigerator and in fire extinguishers . In 1987 , The United Nations Environment Programme succeed in forging an agreement to freeze CFC production at 1986 levels . By developing substitutes to freeze CFCs . Scientists have already developed some substitutes which are. Ozone Friendly .
