This presentation summarizes information about the ozone layer and its depletion. It discusses that the ozone layer is a thin layer in the stratosphere that protects the Earth from UV rays. Ozone layer depletion refers to the thinning of this protective layer due to human-produced chemicals like CFCs and halons. The presentation lists causes of depletion such as manufacturing and use of chemicals like refrigerants and propellants. Depletion of the ozone layer affects humans by increasing risks of skin cancer, eye cataracts, and immune disorders. International agreements like the Montreal Protocol aim to reduce ozone-depleting substances to protect the ozone layer.

3. What is Ozone And Ozone layer ?
O3 ( THREE ATOMS OF OXYGEN)
A GAS WHICH IS HARMFULL TO BREATH
OZONE LAYER IS A THIN LAYER IN THE
STRATOSPHERE
9 TO 18 MILES(15 TO 30 KM) ABOVE THE EARTHS
SURFACE
IT OBSERVES ULTRAVIOLET RAYS

MANUFACTURING OF CHEMICALS EX.
USE OF
HALOCARBON REFRIGERANTS
SOLVENTS
PROPELLANTS
FOAM- BLOWING AGENTS
THE USE OF THE SUBSTANCE LIKE,
CHALOROFLUROCARBONS (CFCs)
HYDROCHALOROFLUROCARBONS (HCFCs)
HALONS
CARBON TETRACLORID
METHYL CHLOROFORM
METHYL BROMIDE.
8. EFFECT ON HUMAN
SKIN CANCERS
EYE CATARACTS
IMMUNE DEFICIENCY DISORDERS
9. ACTION TO PROTECT THE OZONE LAYER
THE MONTREAL PROTOCOL
In 1987 , The INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY ESTABLISHED
THE MONTREAL PROTOCOL ON OZONE LAYER DEPLETING
SUBSTANCES
OBJECTIVE
To cut down the production and consumption of ozone-
depleting substances
10. AS AN INDIVIDUAL WHAT CAN WE DO ?
MAKE SURE THAT IN YOUR HOUSE OLD REFRIGERANT AND
AIR CONDITIONERS ARE DESPOSED OF SAFELY
MAKE SURE WHEN YOU REPAIR YOUR REFRIGERANTS
TECHNICIAN RECOVER AND RECYCLE OZONE DEPLETING
SUBSTANCES
BRING AWARENESS ARROUND YOUR FAMILY ABOUT OZONE
DEPLETING SUBSTANCES
