How to Save the Ozone Layer?
– Role of Textile Industry OZONE is naturally present in our atmosphere. Each molecule contains three atoms of Oxygen. Ozone is found primarily in two regions of the atmosphere. About 10% of atmospheric ozone is in the troposphere, the region closest to Earth (from the surface to about 10-16 kilometers). The remaining 90% Ozone resides in the Stratosphere, primarily between the top of the Troposphere and about 50 kilometers altitude. The large amount of Ozone in the stratosphere is often referred to as the “Ozone layer”. Ozone in the Stratosphere absorbs the Sun’s biologically harmful ultraviolet-B (280-315 nm) radiation. The depletion of stratospheric Ozone by human activities is due to the emission of Ozone depleting gases containing Chlorine and Bromine at Earth’s surface. Most of these gases accumulate in the lower atmosphere because they do not react and do not dissolve readily in rain or snow. Free Chlorine radical break the ozone molecule into chlorine monoxide and oxygen molecu
