Ozone Problems and Its Solutions

Abstract

Ozone is a natural occurring molecule up of three elements of oxygen known as O3. The ozone layer is one of the layers of the gaseous mantle below the stratosphere, where oxygen fragments decompose and the ozone layer is formed. With the depletion of the ozone layer, ultraviolet radiation is expected to rise to the earth, which will have a negative impact on human, with the spread of skin and eye diseases, it affects the environment by climate change, increased desertification, loss of agricultural land, genetic changes in plants and reduced land productivity.  In this study, the study method was used because the subject matter is reading.

The purpose of this study is to identify all the problems facing the ozone layer, from thinning and increasing UV rays on Earth, and to present solution that prevent the depletion of the Ozone layer (O3), such as reducing and using alternatives to all substances Ozone as (chorine, fluorine and carbon) and too many cars, above all spreading environmental awareness.

The results of this study tell us that the cause of the ozone layer depletion is humanity itself, which is the disposal of industrial waste and environmental pesticides, which has led to climate change, environmental degradation and the spread of disease, increased aridity and increased floods, decreased habitat. Currently, this threat has become a global problem, however, countries around the world have realized the dangers, so they have started appropriate measures to reduce the risks caused by ozone depletion.
