A Review on Depletion of Ozone and Its Climatic Effects

The presence of ozone (O3) in the stratosphere plays a crucial role in determining the survival of mankind. It acts as a barrier and soaks up most of the ultraviolet radiation emitted by the sun. It is situated at an altitude of approximately 15 to 35 kilometers from the surface of the earth. There are variances in the thickness of the ozone layer across different seasons and regions. Numerous occurrences in the areas of planets, living organisms, and the natural world rely on it. The environment is highly impacted by human actions in several scenarios. One of the consequences is damage inflicted upon the ozone layer. The objective of this article is to analyze the causative factors, processes, impacts on living organisms, and preventive measures of the depletion of the ozone layer. Halons and chlorofluorocarbons belong to the group of powerful agents that deplete the ozone layer.
