United States Environmental Protection Agency, Athens, Georgia, USA, f contained in this article in third party publications The universal ratification of the Montreal Protocol, signed by 197 countries, has led to the regulation and phase-out of chemicals that deplete the stratospheric ozone layer. This typically results from higher UV levels reaching us on earth. Although this treaty has had unprecedented success in protecting the ozone layer, and hence all life on Earth from damaging UV radiation, it is also making a substantial contribution to reducing climate warming because many of the chemicals under this treaty are greenhouse gases. Therefore, the global phase-out of ozone depleting substances such as hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) has also made a significant positive contribution to the fight against climate change. Finnish Meteorological Institute, Helsinki, Finland, al The ozone layer absorbs UV-B and UV-C light, protecting life on Earth from its harmful effects. Also the ozone depleting substances existing in banks and equipment need special attention to prevent their release to the stratosphere. 2013 Jun;63(6):607-47. doi: 10.1080/10962247.2013.791349.  |  Environmental effects of ozone depletion and its interactions with climate change: progress report, 2007 Photochem Photobiol Sci. Please enable JavaScript Reductions in stratospheric ozone lead to increased penetration of UV-B radiation to the lower atmosphere, and therefore to a general increase in the photochemical reactivity of the troposphere. Ozone layer depletion is the thinning of the ozone layer present in the upper atmosphere. This happens when the chlorine and bromine atoms in the atmosphere come in contact with ozone and destroy the ozone molecules.

These effects include those on human health, air quality, terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, biogeochemical cycles, and materials used in construction and other services. Ozone depletion is a major environmental problem because it increases the amount of ultraviolet (UV) radiation that reaches Earth’s surface, which increases the rate of skin cancer, eye cataracts, and genetic and immune system damage.

It is destroyed more quickly than it is created. It has also been predicted that the interactions of the effects of the ozone layer and that of other climate change factors will become increasingly important. Biological Sciences and Environment Program, Loyola University, New Orleans, USA, d These changes are believed to affect concentrations of key tropospheric gases such as ozone (the major constituent of urban photochemical smog), peroxides (important contributors to the acidification of rain) and the hydroxyl radical (OH), which is the major oxidant responsible for the atmospheric residence tim… Most man-made ozone-depleting substances are also potent greenhouse gases. 2008 Jan;7(1):15-27. doi: 10.1039/b717166h. The main consequence of a depleted ozone layer is a reduction in the protection it affords against harmful ultraviolet radiation (UVB) emanating from the sun. Ozone layer depletion leads to decrease in ozone in the stratosphere and increase in ozone present in the lower atmosphere.
