The Ozone Hole Part II

DID YOU KNOW THAT?

Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) is a Greenhouse Gas. It contributes to global warming and causes the ozone hole to enlarge. It is also a contributory factor of skin cancer.

But how can that be so?

Chlorofluorocarbon(CFC) is emitted by gadgets we use in our daily life and it causes the thinning of the ozone layer. It breaks down the ozone into two atoms +one atom of oxygen that is O2+O.

Actually ozone is scientifically known to have three atoms of oxygen that is O3.

When the ozone hole thins it is no longer able to protect us from the Ultraviolet Rays of the sun. And this Ultraviolet Rays will enter the earth and be absorbed by the carbon particles in the Earth’s atmosphere thereby bringing about a rise in global temperatures or these Ultraviolet Rays will cause skin cancer.

This rise in global temperatures is known as global warming.

So, the more Chlorofluorocarbon(CFC)used by more and more people will do more harm to the Earth.
