Destruction+of+the+Ozone+Layer

   DestructiOn Of the OzOne layer       The Ozone Layer is located in the stratosphere, and it protects us from the UV rays that comes from the sun giving us the posibility to live in Earth. Nowadays, it has a big hole that in some places has caused the decrease of about 60% in the amount os the stratospheric ozone. This destruction is caused by us, because we use a lot aerosols, solvents, propellants and refrigerants that have chlorofluorocarbons. The action of this gases in the satratosphere cause CL atoms to release by UV radiation on their molecular links, each atom of CL destroys thousands of molecules of ozone transforming them into dioxide.

The excesive level of Uv radiation can impair the health of people causing them skin cancer, eye injuries (cataracts), and also can affect crops because it eliminates the cyanobacteria. So we have to start trying not to use the gases I've mention so that other generations of people can enjoy living in Earth, we can also let our country to join one of the 120 countries that participate in the Montreal Protocol to save our ozone layer.
