What are the main causes for depleting ozone layer?
Answer
Ozone is a gas made up of three oxygen atoms (O3). It occurs naturally in small (trace) amounts in the upper atmosphere (the stratosphere). Ozone protects life on Earth from the Sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation. But this layer is depleting day by day by absorbing different gases.To protect it we should find out the causes for depleting ozone
Humans expect to have refrigerants and air conditioners (which used to use ozone-killer CFC's) as well as protection from the ozone layer!
Well, you can't have both.
There is a need to find refrigerants that do not use chlorine.
“Ozone layer depletion is the gradual thinning of the earth’s ozone layer in the upper atmosphere caused due to the release of chemical compounds containing gaseous bromine or chlorine from industries or other human activities.”
