  • Production of acid rain and half-life

    Ozone in the stratosphere reacts with UV rays from the sun, and so essentially serves as a shield so that only a little amount of UV rays passes through to the atmosphere. UV rays cause skin cancer, cataracts and damages plants.

  • Emission Spectra

    Note the absorption in the spectrum of the Earth's atmosphere identified by carbon dioxide (CO2), ozone (O3), and H2O. Which of these three gases shows in the spectra of the atmosphere of Mars?

  • CFC's and the Ozone Layer for Chemistry Students

    Can you comment or show reactions of ozone with pollutants or chemicals in the atmosphere? Ozone is a polar molecule. This is because the oxygen atoms are not arranged in a linear fashion, but more a "bent" shape, or a V type of shape.

  • Why is Ozone Desirable in the Stratosphere but not Near Earth

    In the atmosphere this is not as much of a threat because life does not exist where ozone is found. This brief solution discusses why ozone is important but dangerous to life on earth, depending on where it's found. Why is this?

  • Ozone Layer Depletion vs Global Warming

    Global warming as a phenomenon refers to the release of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO²) in massive amounts through human industry into the atmosphere. These gases actually enhance a function of the atmosphere - the trapping of heat.

  • Noise Control; Radon; UV-Radiation

    the atmosphere are gradually eroding earth's protective shield (ozone layer) which stops the sun's UV radiation from reaching the earth.

  • Pathogens and Air Pollution

    Human created chemicals, such as Chloroflourocarbons, destroy stratospheric ozones ("the ozone layer") and act as greenhouse gases which release a large amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere a.k.a. "the greenhouse effect".

  • Development and use of Freon

    Since ozone in the stratosphere acts as a filter to remove much of the UV-b in from solar radiation, ozone depletion will likely lead to adverse effects on plants and animals.

  • Analytical Summary: Clean Air Act

    However, by 1 July, ozone levels increased by an additional 50%. Why this increase?
