Ozone is like a “MOTHER” of EARTH….who protect her child from harmful radiations.
Our Mother. World Ozone Day
As umbrella protects us from rain, ozone protects the earth from the sun.
What is ozone?
Ozone is a special form of oxygen with the chemical formula O3. The oxygen we breathe and that is so vital to life on earth is O2.
Ozone constitutes a very small part of our atmosphere, but its presence is nevertheless vital to human well-being. Most ozone resides high up in the atmosphere, between 10 and 40km above Earth’s surface. This region is called the stratosphere and it contains about 90% of all the ozone in the atmosphere.
Stop this!!!!
Ozone Day Theme
‘World Ozone Day’ is observed every year on 16 September. The theme of World Ozone Day 2020 is ‘Ozone for Life: 35 years of ozone layer protection’ According to UN Environment, “collective decisions and action, guided by science, are the only way to solve major global crises.”
We Saved the Ozone Layer. We Can Save the Climate
What You Can Do
Protect yourself from ozone layer depletion by avoiding excessive sun exposure.
Take care of your appliances to minimize ozone layer impact.
What is the hole in the ozone layer?
It is a hole that allows the entry of large amounts of ultraviolent light and it is located at the poles, on the Antarctic continent and the Arctic Ocean, being especially large during the spring of both hemispheres and resulting in longer summer seasons.
Why is the hole in the ozone layer harmful?
Although this hole is due to the natural fluctuations of ozone in the atmosphere, it also caused by human activities which emit gases that end up in the stratosphere and degrade the ozone molecules, increasing the size and effect of this hole in the ozone layer. This is an environmental and health problem, since the excess of solar radiation is a threat to any form of life.
How can we protect the ozone layer?
- Avoid the consumption of gases dangerous to the ozone layer, due to their content or manufacturing process. Some of the most dangerous gases are CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons), halogenated hydrocarbon, methyl bromide and nitrous oxide.
Minimize the use of cars. The best transport option is urban, bicycle, or walking. If you use a car to a destination, try to carpool with others to decrease the use of cars in order to pollute less and save. - Do not use cleaning products that are harmful to the environment and to us. Many cleaning products contain solvents and substances corrosive, but you can replace these dangerous substances with non-toxic products such as vinegar or bicarbonate.
Buy local products. In this way, you not only get fresh products but you avoid consuming food that has traveled long distances. As the more distance traveled, the more nitrous oxide is produced due to the medium used to transport that product. - Maintain air conditioners, as their malfunctions cause CFC to escape into the atmosphere.
