The Stratospheric Ozone Depletion

What emissions
from human
activities lead
to ozone
depletion?

How do the
chlorine and
bromine
reactions
destroy the
stratospheric
ozone?

Why has an ozone

hole appeared
over Antarctica
when ozonedepleting
substances are
present
throughout the
stratosphere?

The Stratospheric Ozone Depletion

How do the chlorine and bromine

reactions destroy the stratospheric
ozone?

Ozone (O3) in stratosphere created by:

1 Photochemical reactions with O2
2 Mostly in equatorial latitudes
3 Air currents concentrate ozone towards poles
(polar vortex)

Are there
controls on the

The hole in the ozone

layer is a kind of
skywriting. At first it
seemed to spell out our
continuing complacency
before a witch's brew of
deadly
perils.
But
perhaps it really tells of
a newfound talent to
work together to protect
the global environment.
