Ozone depletion
A vital topic to everyone
![Page 2: Ozone Depletion Power Point](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013107/549e31ceac795947768b46a4/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Ozone
A gas composed of three atoms of oxygen bluish gas that is harmful to breathe great majority of the ozone is concentrated
on the stratosphere-------which is known as ozone layer.
Out of each 10 million air molecules, about 2 million are normal oxygen, but only 3 are ozone.
![Page 3: Ozone Depletion Power Point](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013107/549e31ceac795947768b46a4/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The atomic oxygen quickly combines with further oxygen molecules to form ozone:
O2 + hv -> O + O (1) O + O2 -> O3 (2) at ground level, ozone is a health hazard - it is
a major constituent of photochemical smog.

Ozone is also destroyed by the following reaction:
O + O3 -> O2 + O2 (4) The Chapman Reactions

Uses of ozone
Ozone absorbs a band of ultraviolet radiation called UVB that is particularly harmful to living organisms which can cause cancer skin cancer amd damage vegetation
thus it prevents most UVB reaching the ground

The Science of Ozone depletion
![Page 14: Ozone Depletion Power Point](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013107/549e31ceac795947768b46a4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
the release of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) into the atmosphere could reduce the amount of ozone
![Page 15: Ozone Depletion Power Point](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013107/549e31ceac795947768b46a4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
![Page 16: Ozone Depletion Power Point](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013107/549e31ceac795947768b46a4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Although the UV radiation splits the ozone molecule, ozone can reform through the following reactions resulting in no net loss of ozone:
O3 + hv -> O2 + O (3) O + O2 -> O3 (2) as above
![Page 17: Ozone Depletion Power Point](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013107/549e31ceac795947768b46a4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
destruction of ozone are:
HCl + ClONO2 -> HNO3 + Cl2 (1) ClONO2 + H2O -> HNO3 + HOCl (2) HCl + HOCl -> H2O + Cl2 (3) N2O5 + HCl -> HNO3 + ClONO (4) N2O5 + H2O -> 2 HNO3 (5)
![Page 18: Ozone Depletion Power Point](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013107/549e31ceac795947768b46a4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Remember that these reaction can only take place in the surface
Molecular chlorine is easily photodissociated (split by sunlight):
Cl2 + hv -> Cl + Cl
![Page 19: Ozone Depletion Power Point](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013107/549e31ceac795947768b46a4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The production of active chlorine requires sunlight, and sunlight drives the following catalytic cycles thought to be the main cycles involving chlorine and bromine, responsible for destroying the ozone:
![Page 20: Ozone Depletion Power Point](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013107/549e31ceac795947768b46a4/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
(I) ClO + ClO + M -> Cl2O2 + M Cl2O2 + hv -> Cl + ClO2 ClO2 + M -> Cl + O2 + M then: 2 x (Cl + O3) -> 2 x (ClO + O2) net: 2 O3 -> 3 O2
![Page 21: Ozone Depletion Power Point](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013107/549e31ceac795947768b46a4/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
and (II) ClO + BrO -> Br + Cl + O2 Cl + O3 -> ClO + O2 Br + O3 -> BrO + O2
![Page 22: Ozone Depletion Power Point](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013107/549e31ceac795947768b46a4/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
net: 2 O3 -> 3 O2 the above equation is known as 'catalytic
cycles'. A catalytic cycle is one in which a molecule significantly changes or enables a reaction cycle without being altered by the cycle itself.

What is the process of ozone depletion?
![Page 26: Ozone Depletion Power Point](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013107/549e31ceac795947768b46a4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
What is ODS?
ODS is... Known as ozone depleting substances including: CFCs, HCFCs, halons, methyl bromide,
carbon tetrachloride, and Methyl Chloroform
![Page 27: Ozone Depletion Power Point](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013107/549e31ceac795947768b46a4/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
What is CFCs?
Chloroflurocarbon a compound consisting of chlorine, fluorine,
and carbon very stable in the stratosphere broke down by strong violet light in the
stratosphere and release chlorine atoms that deplete the ozone layer

Effects on Human and Animal Health Effects on Terrestrial Ecosystems Effects on Aquatic Ecosystems Effects on Air Quality Effects on Materials
![Page 30: Ozone Depletion Power Point](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013107/549e31ceac795947768b46a4/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Human and animal
increase in the risk of cataract and skin cancer increases in UV-B radiation associated with
ozone depletion are likely to lead to increases in the incidence and/or severity of a
variety of short-term and long-term health effects
Effects on the immune system(may be beneficial)
![Page 31: Ozone Depletion Power Point](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013107/549e31ceac795947768b46a4/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Depressed resistance to certain tumors and infectious diseases
potential impairment of vaccination responses increased severity of some autoimmune and
allergic responses decreases in the severity of certain
immunologic diseases/conditions such as psoriasis and nickel allergy. (beneficial)
![Page 32: Ozone Depletion Power Point](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013107/549e31ceac795947768b46a4/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Effects on Terrestrial Ecosystems Damage to the terrestrial organisms
including plants and microbes. increased UV-B exerts effects more often
through altered patterns of gene activity. affect food quality for humans and grazing
animals
![Page 33: Ozone Depletion Power Point](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013107/549e31ceac795947768b46a4/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Aquatic life:
solar UV-B and UV-A have adverse effects on the growth, photosynthesis, protein and pigment content, and reproduction of phytoplankton, thus affecting the food web
.
![Page 34: Ozone Depletion Power Point](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013107/549e31ceac795947768b46a4/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Air quality:
Increased UV-B will increase the chemical activity in the lower atmosphere (the troposphere). Tropospheric ozone levels are sensitive to local concentrations of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and hydrocarbons.
additional UV-B radiation reduces tropospheric ozone in clean environments (low NOx), and increases tropospheric ozone in polluted areas (high NOx).
![Page 35: Ozone Depletion Power Point](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013107/549e31ceac795947768b46a4/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
increase the concentration of hydroxyl radicals (OH) and result in faster removal of pollutants.
![Page 36: Ozone Depletion Power Point](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013107/549e31ceac795947768b46a4/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Materials
Physical and mechanical properties of polymers are negatively affected by increased UV-B in sunlight. Increased UV-B reduces the useful lifetimes of synthetic polymer products used outdoors and of biopolymer materials such as wood, paper, wool and cotton.

What did the world do:?
![Page 38: Ozone Depletion Power Point](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013107/549e31ceac795947768b46a4/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
1970s
Ban on the use of CFCs as aerosal propellant in several countries
However, production of CFCs and other ozone-depleting substances grew rapidly after the other ozone-depleting substances grew rapidly afterward as new uses were discovered
![Page 39: Ozone Depletion Power Point](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013107/549e31ceac795947768b46a4/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
1980s
World’s nations became increasingly concerned that OSD would harm the ozone layer.
In 1985, the Vienna Convention was signed.
Expected that by 1998 , the production of the CFCs/ODS products would reduce by half
![Page 40: Ozone Depletion Power Point](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013107/549e31ceac795947768b46a4/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
1990s
Decided to completely end production of halons(which is ODS) by the beginnings of 1994
end production of CFCs in 1996
![Page 41: Ozone Depletion Power Point](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013107/549e31ceac795947768b46a4/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
What can we small people do about it?
No, in fact, we play an important role to prevent the situation form
worsening!
![Page 42: Ozone Depletion Power Point](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013107/549e31ceac795947768b46a4/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
At home:
Repair air conditioners this step prevents ozone-depleting
refrigerants from escaping. Make certain the refrigerant is recovered
If you purchase a new air conditioning system or heat pump, purchase one that uses non-ozone-depleting refrigerant. See a fact sheet on this topic.
![Page 43: Ozone Depletion Power Point](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013107/549e31ceac795947768b46a4/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Remove the refrigerant from refrigerators, air conditioners, and dehumidifiers before disposing of the,
If you suspect or witness unlawful releases of refrigerant or other improper service practices, you can report to the authorities concerned.
![Page 44: Ozone Depletion Power Point](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013107/549e31ceac795947768b46a4/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
If you are car-owners
Repair all leaks in the a/c system About 80 million cars on the road today use
CFC refrigerants in their air-conditioning (AC) systems. If leaky systems were repaired, it would prevent the release of about 30 million pounds of CFCs this year.
Ask about converting your car to a substitute refrigerant if the a/c system needs major repair
