Ozone Depletion
Bayani Gaba-gaba
High in the stratosphere, a thin band of ozone acts as the planet's sunscreen, soaking up most of the Sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation before it can reach us. For decades, gases from everyday products such as aerosol sprays and refrigerators drifted up to this layer and quietly tore it apart, opening a seasonal hole over Antarctica. It is a striking example of how a useful invention can have an invisible global cost.
In this lesson you will learn what causes ozone depletion, how chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) release chlorine that destroys ozone, and why the result is more ultraviolet radiation at the surface, with consequences for human health and crops. You will also study how the world responded, through international agreement, a ban on CFCs and the safe disposal of old equipment, and you will see why this is one of the great success stories of environmental management. Crucially, you will learn to keep ozone depletion firmly separate from the greenhouse effect.
Manufura
- 4.4.1 State that chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in aerosols and refrigerants are the cause of ozone depletion in the ozone layer.
- 4.4.2 Describe the impacts of ozone depletion, limited to: (a) higher levels of solar radiation reaching the Earth’s surface (b) increased rates of cancer and cataracts (c) damage to vegetation resulting in reduced crop yields.
- 4.4.3 Describe strategies to manage the impacts of ozone depletion, limited to: (a) international agreement and policies (b) CFC ban and alternatives to CFCs (c) safe disposal of CFCs.
- 4.4.4 Discuss the benefits and limitations of strategies to manage the impacts of ozone depletion.
