    The ozone layer is being destroyed by human activities that release chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) into the atmosphere. CFCs reach the stratospheric ozone layer and cause damage by creating holes that allow more ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun to pass through. Increased UV radiation can lead to health issues like skin cancer and eye cataracts in humans, as well as damage plants and animals. We can help protect the ozone layer by reducing the use of CFCs and avoiding activities that release them, like improperly disposing of refrigerators.

    What is the ozone layer?
    The ozone layer is a
    layer outside the
    earth. It protects
    the earth from the
    UV Radiation of the
    sun. The ozone
    layer is in the
    stratosphere. It is a
    molecule
    consisting 3 small
    atoms. The ozone
    is a pale blue gas.
    How is it getting
    destroying?
    The ozone layer is
    destroying because of
    human beings! People
    harm the ozone layer when
    the spray cans, toss
    fridges and many more
    things which affect the
    ozone layer. The cause of
    all this is the CFCS.
    Chlorofluorocarbon. When
    the CFCS go up and
    reaches the ozone layer it
    creates a big hole in it. So
    all the UL Radiation of the
    How is it affecting us?
    When the suns rays
    hit people it causes
    skin cancer. It also
    causes sun spots.
    The most place
    with skin cancer is
    Australia.
    Antarctica is also
    being affected a lot
    because when the
    UV Radiation gets
    there the ice melts
    and causes flood.
    How can we help?
    We can help by not
    tossing fridges. Not
    using CFCS as
    much. We can also
    protect our self by
    putting sunscreen.
    Covering us and
    putting on a hat.
