The impact of Ozone layer depletion on environmental - A Review
Authors(1) :-Anil R. Saradva
The Ozone layer is a deep blanket in the stratosphere made up of comparatively high concentration of the ozone. As a result of its chemical composition, ozone is regarded as a special type of oxygen as it contains three oxygen molecules (O3) as opposed to the usual two oxygen molecules (O2).The ozone layer encircles the earth and occurs naturally. It is mainly found in the lower part of the stratosphere, approximately 15 to 30 kilometers (9 to 18 miles) above the earth. The ozone is an extremely reactive layer and it acts as a shield from the harmful ultraviolet B rays discharged from the sun. The ozone layer is continually being generated and broken down owing to several atmospheric processes and chemical reactions. This makes the thickness of the ozone layer to vary geographically and seasonally.
