Question

why Ozone is getting depleted and what is the cause?​

Answer 1

The ozone layer that protects us from the harmful UV radiations of the sun is constantly getting depleted because:

• of the use of freyons such as Chloro-fluoro carbons or fluoro carbons.
• CFCs and FCs are used as coolants in refrigerators and air-conditioners.

The following steps have been taken to reduce their usage:

• The production of refrigerators and ACs using CFCs and FCs is banned.

Answer 2

$\huge\underline\orange{\sf Ozone :-}$

★What is Ozone Layer? ★

→ A layer in Earth's stratosphere at an altitude of about 10km which is characterized by high ozone contact

★ Usefulness ★

• Ozone Layer blocks most of the sun's ultraviolet radiation (UV rays) from entering the lower atmosphere

★Why Ozone layer is getting depleted★

• Ozone depletion is caused by the release of chemical compounds containing gaseous chlorine or bromine from industry and other human activities.

• Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and Halons—gases formerly found in aerosol spray cans and refrigerantsare released into the atmosphere.

★How can we protect Ozone Layer ? ★

• We can use air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment that do not use HCFCs as refrigerant.

• We should use or buy aerosol products that do not use HCFCs or CFCs as propellants.

• We should must stop releasing ozone-depleting compounds into the atmosphere.

★Note★

• As per scientists report , The Ozone Layer looks to be successfully healing after gaping holes found in Antarctica at 1980 s
