Ozone Layer

Ozone Layer

 Is an important part of the Earth's atmosphere. This part contains a gas called ozone gas, which is a blue color that converts oxygen gas to ozone gas because of ultraviolet radiation emitted by the sun. And any defect in it will increase the entry of these harmful rays to the Earth and affect the organisms, such as the ozone hole problem that we will present in this article. The ozone hole is a vacuum in the ozone layer on the Antarctic that is caused by ozone depletion due to increased emissions from the earth, such as chlorine and bromine, due to human industries and the production of harmful chemicals. When these gases are released and reached To the layer above the stratosphere, the ultraviolet rays analyze their components, which act to stimulate reactions that in turn break up a large part of ozone gas in the ozone layer in varying degrees. Effects of the ozone hole The ozone hole greatly affects the course of nature on the planet, it affects the human skin causing many skin diseases as a result of direct exposure to skin high rates of ultraviolet rays harmful, which will reach the Earth rates higher after the occurrence Ozone whole. It also causes many human health problems, such as skin cell damage and DNA damage, causing genetic abnormalities, premature aging, poisoning of the blood, nerve fatigue, and inability of the immune system to function properly. Has a major impact on agricultural products and causes shortages and lack of fish wealth, and the problem of global warming that lead to melting of ice in frozen areas, leading to flooding, and flooded some countries completely. Solutions to the Ozone Problem Since man is the main cause of this problem, he must find solutions that mitigate it, such as preventing the use of chlorofluorocarbon-containing pesticides and halting the production of this harmful chemical product, which is a major cause of disintegration of the ozone gas molecules, Which significantly help maintain the balance of gases, as it reduces the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and the shortage of trees and increase the proportion of carbon dioxide makes the gas reaches the ozone layer, and significantly affects the work of ozone gas, This indirectly affects the ozone layer.
