OZONE PROTECTION SECTION DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT, MALAYSIA OZONE & OZONE LAYER • Ozone isa molecule that contains three atoms of oxygen(O3) • Formedby the action of solar ultraviolet light on oxygen • Ozone is vital to human and animal survival because it is responsible for the absorption of the sun's ultraviolet light

  4. OZONE PROTECTION SECTION DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT, MALAYSIA OZONE & OZONE LAYER • Ozone occurs naturally in the Earth’s upper atmosphere—10 to 50 km (30 miles) above the Earth’s surface where it forms a protective layer that shields us from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays. • This beneficial ozone is gradually being destroyed by man-made chemicals • For human beings, over-exposure to UV rays can lead to skin cancer, cataracts, and weakened immune systems • Increased UV can also lead to reduced crop yield and disruptions in the marine food chain.

  5. OZONE PROTECTION SECTION DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT, MALAYSIA CHLOROFLUOROCARBONSCFCs) • CFC was the major cause of ozone depletion in the upper atmosphere. • Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) are similar to CFCs but less destructive to ozone. They are used as transition substitutes for CFCs (to be phased out by the year 2040. HCFCs be replaced by HFCs which do not have any potential for the destruction of ozone/ozone friendly. CFCs  HCFCs  HFCs
