Refrigerants for the 21st Century
8. CFCs and the Ozone Layer
By 1972 world-wide production of CFC-11 and CFC-12 had reached 0.3 and 0.5 million tons/year, respectively, and was expected to increase by more than 9%/year in future years. As pointed out earlier, the generally desirable chemical stability of these and other fluorocarbons meant that they would accumulate in the earth's atmosphere as they escape from from their valuable uses. Subsequently, it was established that the atmospheric ...

OZONE DEPLETION
AND GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE
Welcome to the CIESIN thematic guide on ozone depletion issues. The purpose of this guide is to help you find selected key documents that pertain to the issue of ozone depletion: causes, human and environmental effects, and policy responses.
The 1985 report of the discovery of an "ozone hole" over Antarctica focused attention on the idea that humans can have a significant impact on the global environment. This di ...

Ernst Meijer's Home Page
Since August 1996 I am working as a researcher at the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) in the section Atmospheric
Composition (AS). My research concerns the modelling of tropospheric chemistry, focussing on the impact of nitrogen oxides emissions
on atmospheric ozone. Most work is performed in the framework of these projects:
POLINAT 2
SONEX (removed)
EULINOX
TRADEOFF
SCAVEX
On November 21st 2001, I succesfully defend ...

Ozone Enviornmental Changes
Ozone depletion environmental issues - climate changes and global warming may lead to global catastrophe endangering millions of people and animal lives. For more information about Ozone depletion, visit US EPA. An excellent article about Ozone hole, explains why and how ozone holes are formed, and why we should be worried about these holes.

The ozone layer protects the Earth from the ultraviolet rays sent down by the sun. If the ozone layer is depleted by human action, the effects on the planet could be catastrophic.
Ozone is present in the stratosphere. The stratosphere reaches 30 miles above the Earth, and at the very top it contains ozone. The suns rays are absorbed by the ozone in the stratosphere and thus do not re ...

The Ozone layer
A concerted global effort has been made to protect the earth's ozone layer: our planet's fragile sunscreen.
Production of the industrial chemicals which once posed a major threat to the ozone layer has been greatly reduced, and levels of some of these chemicals are now beginning to decline in the lower atmosphere.
The ozone layer is expected to eventually recover, if all nations ...
