Is there any life on earth without the Ozone layer
74Everyone must be know about the Ozone or trioxygen and know about the benefits of ozone layer for life on this earth but do you know if this layer going to be depleted or lost, what will happen to the living things on earth including all of us, if the ozone layer depleted or even completely lost ?
Scientifically, the ozone layer is a layer in the stratosphere (the upper layers of the atmosphere) which has a height of between about 10 and 50 km or between about 6 and 31 miles from the earth's surface and formed from the mixing of ultraviolet rays from the sun and oxygen molecules in earth's atmosphere and a pale blue gas that protects life on Earth from ultraviolet radiation as a cause of skin cancer and genetic damage because it can absorb ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun.
However, ozone also is toxic if it is near the soil surface or under the atmosphere, the negative effect is remarkable on living beings (humans, animals and plants), in addition to triggering the occurrence of smog that is harmful to human health if inhaled and can damage the lungs, occurs respiratory tract irritation and acute respiratory disease for patients with cardiopulmonary problems.
Ozone layer that has formed since millions of years ago, the concentration is relatively stable because it maintained by a mixture of nitrogen molecules in the atmosphere and its concentration should be kept by humans in order to remain stable. But now the Ozone layer endangered will be lost.
The development of chemical industry and human negligence are the major threats to the ozone layer especially the use of chemicals that can disrupt the concentration of ozone that makes the layer more depleted from year to year. According to scientists, the chemicals that are harmful to the ozone is bromine halocarbons (Methyl bromide is widely used as pesticides and bromofluorocarbons which is primarily used as a fire extinguisher), nitrogen oxides (Occur of: a strike of lightning to the ground and become a natural fertilizer or vehicle exhaust fumes that form photochemical fog), chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are widely used in refrigerators.
The consequences of the ozone layer depletion is very broad, increased skin cancer and cataracts in humans, damage the marine food chain because it affects the plankton, damaging plants and food crops and by naturally increase the carbon dioxide and interferes with photosynthesis.
The ozone depletion which has been and is still happening, thus forming the ozone hole (an area with a thin ozone in the ozone layer) due to chemical processes and the use of chemicals especially Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) (which moves up into the stratosphere and the molecules are decomposed after mixed with Ultraviolet and release chlorine atoms and produce ozone hole) in Arctic is proving human negligence.
Although the UN Montreal Protocol works well in restricting
the use of chemicals that harm the ozone layer but ozone recovery takes a long
time. According to the news in April, it was reported that there has been
serious damage to the ozone layer in the Arctic,
reaching 40% in March from the previous year which reached 30%. Depletion of
the ozone layer is also considered related to global warming and climate change
around the world lately.
Let us protect the ozone that was one of the gas that formed the atmosphere and
oxygen which we breathe has set up nearly 20% of the atmosphere by living green
and reduce air pollution and avoiding the use of chemicals that harm the ozone
layer before the worse climate change facts occur because we can not imagine what
would happen if a lot of ozone holes
above us.

Thanks for a very informative hub Aris, I appreciate it. It is sad and scary how we are ruining the ozone.
This is informative, well researched, current and useful. I thank you for spreading this message. Ozone depletion is has serious consequences for humans. The better we are aware the better we try and correct it. Be blessed
Interesting hub!
nice than ever thought
love cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeee and momchykn pants eater fries your mom is a stinky little hobo man
