Importance of the ozone

Three very important for the environment because it is possible to work on earth - the life giving oxygen, and warm the earth (UV) light from the sun is deadly ultraviolet radiation absorbed. The atmosphere of the earth is composed of different gases. The main gases, nitrogen and oxygen 78 per cent and 21 per cent of the quantity in the air. The remaining one percent of atmospheric gases, greenhouse gases - carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone and water vapor, so called because they live in the country of the effect of natural greenhouse, which are contained in the gas, can be found on the planet there would be no warmer than the atmosphere. For the protection of life on earth, it is important for the ozone gas. Ozone a colorless, odorless gas. Emitted by the sun is filtering out harmful UV rays important work.

Shocking:

Ozone is constantly produced and destroyed nature. However, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) released by human activities Stratosphere reach and destroy ozone. Substances that deplete the ozone layer (ODS) is called. CFCs and are used for refrigeration, air conditioning, fumigation foams, aerosols, cleaners, solvents, control agents against fire, etc..

British scientists in 1980 to the end of the ozone in the atmosphere above Antarctica measures whose results were uncomfortable - in the ozone layer above the 'Antarctica in the spring of each year has been considerably reduced. These areas are known as the "ozone hole".

In 1985 in Vienna to take "appropriate measures ... And as a result of adverse events or changes in the ozone layer, change or May due to human activities, proximity to the right of the protection of human health has been agreed. The protection of the ozone layer, that the conference was born. In September 1987, the Agreement on specific measures under the Montreal Protocol on substances that have been adopted for the Ozone Layer was signed in consumption.

In 1994 the UN General Assembly declared September 16 International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer, commemorating the date in 1987 in signing the Montreal Protocol. India in 1991 and 1992 the Montreal Protocol of the Vienna Convention was adopted.

These multilateral agreements on the use of ozone-friendly replacement for the transition to provide technical and financial assistance.

If consumers are more vigilant and ensure that the products we buy are liabilities. If we can, like us, aerosols, rather than the pump spray insecticides friendly products to choose ozone. However, a refrigerator or air conditioning, choose one to buy CFC-free technologies. However, the gas compressor repair, ensure that the gas is a CFC in refrigerators are not released into the atmosphere. If possible, we buy and use pillows and mattresses filled with cotton instead of foam. Cups and Styrofoam cups, we do not use sheets or the use of reusable plates. The ozone layer protects us like her.
