concern for the global environment and the health effects of life on the Planet Earth.

There is not just one particular cause for the ozone's depletion; the accumulation of

different pollutants into our ozone layer has all added up and equaled a worldwide

problem. There is not just one effect from the poisoning of the ozone, but instead

multiple ramifications from diseases to death. The damage to the ozone is increasing

with every second; moreover, there are many ways we can help reduce the problem

Ozone is a pale blue gaseous form of oxygen, in chemical form it is also

known as O3. Ozone can be beneficial or harmful depending on its location in the

Earth's atmosphere. If the ozone is located in the troposphere (which extends from

the surface of the Earth up to approxiametly10 miles) it is a harmful pollutant and a

major component in smog and other environmental health problems. Such

tropospheric ozone can damage plastic, rubber, plant and animal tissue. Ozone

located approximately 10-25 miles above the Earth's surface, in a part of the

countries the production and consumption of CFCs would be diminished by the year

One of the first major steps in trying to stop the ozone depletion took place in

solvents in industrial processes. Hydrochlorofluorocarbons are known as HCFCs,

of ultraviolet rays in Antarctica in 1993 were 50% higher than in 1991 and 1992"

led the stratosphere is very beneficial. The ozone is a major
