Ozone Depletion
•What is the cause and effect of Ozone Depletion and what can we do to reduce it.

CFC’s
•Also known as Chlorofluorocarbons
• They are broken down into Chlorine and Bromine by UV rays. Two very harmful chemicals for the environment.
•Responsible for 80% of ozone depletion.

Why They’re harmful
•Cl + O3 - ClO+O2
•As you can see the Ozone (O3) is being converted into oxygen and therefore depleting.

Things that contain CFC’s
•A chemical called “Freon” contains CFC’s
•This chemical is used in air conditioners and refrigerators.
•Aerosols (hairspray, spray paint) contain CFC’s

Impact And Cause
• The depletion of the Ozone layer has a huge impact on the Earth. It makes Antarctic ice caps to melt; and can cause skin cancer. The EPA estimates that by 2075 60 million Americans will have gotten skin cancer from ozone depletion.
• In Ocean ecosystems, UV (ultraviolet) rays emitted by the sun can cause plankton and other ocean producers to die.
