Abstract about the Ozone Layer

Ozone is a dangerous but vital gas for our basic survival. Its layer in the stratosphere protects us from deadly ultraviolet rays . Without ozone, there would be global warming, in addition diseases can come up.  Recently, the depletion of its layer has been hazardous to the safety for our environment and its organisms. The main cause of  depletion is using CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) mostly in refrigerants, etc. One molecule of chlorine from CFCs can kill 100,000 molecules of ozone . If we don’t stop using these dangerous chemicals, depletion will spread, and our way of life will be harmed . Even though mass production of CFCs has halted, the effects will last for many years. There is no way to remove them from the environment . We need to stop our dangerous usage of these toxins, create stricter regulations on usage, be informed, and live greener lives, or we will experience more environmental problems.
