Article Reflection: Ozone Layer Ozone: The Pollution Paradox This article was based on information about ozone pollution. In my opinion this article gave a lot of valuable information and I learned a lot of things I never had knowledge of. For example‚ the atmosphere forms and destroys the ozone‚ the ozone can have an effect on the human body and the article also provided information on what we could do about the ozone layer to help the atmosphere. I had a little bit of information in my

Cfcs Cause Deterioration of the Ozone Layer The deterioration of the ozone layer ‚ caused by Cfcs‚ endangers the lives of humans ’. Cfcs have a diminishing effect on the ozone layer. Furthermore‚ the deterioration of the ozone cause an increase of Ultraviolet (UV) radiation which can have a negative effect on human skin and eyes. As a writer for newsweek‚ I have investigated the scenario and found the following information. The earth ’s atmosphere is a blanket of air that surrounds the planet

<b>The Greenhouse Effect</b> <br>The earth’s climate is predicted to change because human activities are altering the chemical composition of the atmosphere through the build up of greenhouse gases primarily carbon dioxide‚ methane‚ and nitrous oxide. <br> <br>Energy from the sun drives the earth’s weather and climate‚ and heats the earth’s surface. This causes the earth to radiate the energy back into space. Atmospheric greenhouse gases (water vapour‚ carbon dioxide‚ and other gases) trap some

Essay ozone depletion is a serious problem presently facing the world. The ozone layer protects humans‚ animals‚ and plants from harmful ultraviolet rays. Money and time are being spent on ozone repair‚ but the problem still exists. The ozone layer is a region of the stratosphere containing ozone‚ or O3 gas. The ozone layer is necessary to both plant and animal life on earth because it protects the surface from dangerous ultraviolet light. However‚ manufacturing and household chemicals

affect our families and our future one day. There are some problems affecting the environmental stability‚ namely- ozone depletion‚ enhanced greenhouse effect‚ global warming‚ and climate change. First‚ what is ozone depletion? Ozone depletion is defined as the thinning of the ozone layer‚ caused by a group of manufactured chemicals called ozone-depleting substances (ODS). Ozone –depleting-substances include chlorofluorocarbons‚ halons‚ carbon tetrachloride‚ methyl bromide‚ hydrobromofluorocarbons

Good in the news update that the ozone layer is now thickening and has stopped from further depletion with respect to the endeavours and cooperation to the multinational agreement Venna Convention on the Protection of the Ozone Layer. What’s ironic is that while efforts to protect the environment are raised to the international level‚ personal level environmental values and behaviors
