OZONE DEPLETION

JULIAN, JOSHUA D.
AMOROSO, JOHN
VINCENT
PRESENTED BY:
Objectives:
• Describe the chemical nature of ozone.
• Discuss the factors that affects the ozone layer.
• Describe the damaging effects of ozone depletion.
• Discuss the measures to prevent ozone depletion.
• Understand the importance of Ozone Layer.
Contents Covered:
• Introduction
• Causes of Ozone Layer Depletion
• Impacts of Ozone Depletion
• Control Measures of Ozone Depletion
 What is Ozone?
• is a highly reactive gas
composed of three oxygen
atoms (O3)
How is Ozone formed in the
atmosphere?
 What is Ozone?
• Ozone in the lower atmosphere
is a component of smog and is
considered a greenhouse gas.

• Ozone in the upper atmosphere

is known as the ozone layer and
shields life from the sun’s
harmful ultraviolet radiation.

OZONE LAYER
 What is
OZONE DEPLETION?
is the thinning of the ozone layer
present in the upper atmosphere.
Causes of Ozone Depletion:

MAN-MADE NATURAL
• CAUSES
Use of Products CAUSES
• Sun Rays
and Equipment • Volcanic
• Chlorofluorocarbons
(CFCs) Eruptions
• Halons
• Methyl Chloroforms
• • Hydrofluorocarbons
Burning of
(HCFCs)
plastics
 Impacts of
Ozone Depletion:
1.Harm to Human Health
2.Impacts on Food
Production
3.Effects on Plants
4.Effects on Animals
Control Measures:
1. Limit Private Vehicle
2. Use Eco-Friendly Household Products
and Equipment
3. Avoid Using Pesticides
4. Avoid burning of plastics and other
chemicals
5. Reuse and Recycle
 CONCLUSION
Through the release of ozone-depleting substances such as
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), halons, humans have contributed to
the thinning of the ozone layer, exposing life on Earth to harmful
ultraviolet radiation. The responsibility for saving the ozone layer
lies with humanity. Adhering to regulations, investing in sustainable
alternatives, and raising awareness are key steps towards
safeguarding this crucial layer and ensuring a healthier planet for
future generations.
