OZONE LAYER DEPLETION

Ozone Layer is depleting day by day, we are ignoring the major
effects of ozone layer depletion.
Ozone depletion describes two distinct but related phenomena observed since the late 1970s: a steady decline of about 4% in the total volume of ozone in Earth's stratosphere (the ozone layer), and a much larger springtime decrease in stratospheric ozone around Earth's polar regions.
Major causes of ozone layer depletion are:
1.CFC
2.Green House Gases
3.Deforestation


We are using refrigerator and air conditioner for cooling and these causes ozone layer depletion.
We must have to use green cooling system to stop CFC gas to deplete ozone layer.
The main source of these halogen atoms in the stratosphere is photodissociation of man-made halocarbon refrigerants, solvents, propellants, and foam-blowing agents (CFCs, HCFCs, freons, halons). These compounds are transported into the stratosphere by winds after being emitted at the surface
