Major cause of ozone layer depeletion and its remedial measures
Explanation:
There is a thin layer of ozone (O₃) present in the stratosphere of the atmosphere which protects the Earth from the harmful UV rays coming from the sun. These rays are extremely dangerous and cause cancer on prolonged exposure.
The ozone layer is being depleted due to excessive release of harmful chemicals into the air.
The major cause of ozone depletion is a group of chemicals called CFC (chlorofluorocarbons) which break down the ozone into diatomic oxygen and nascent oxygen respectively .
These are extensively used in refrigeration and air conditioning units and are released when such appliances are discarded.
To prevent ozone depletion, alternative of CFCs called HFCs (hydro-fluorocarbons) are becoming more and more widely used because they have no harmful effect on the ozone.
