Speech On Ozone Layer Depletion

The ozone layer is one of the layers of Earth’s stratosphere. The ozone layer absorbs radiation that hits Earth from the sun. Ozone is a good trapper of types of radiations such as ultraviolet radiation or UV light. UV light can penetrate organisms’ protective layers, such as skin, damaging organisms’ DNA molecules. Ozone molecules are made up of three molecules of oxygen atoms and it is always being destroyed and naturally restructured however, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which is a nontoxic, nonflammable chemical that contains atoms of carbon, chlorine and fluorine, is harmful to the ozone layer. Chlorofluorocarbons are used in manufacturing of aerosol sprays, blowing agents for foam, packing materials and refrigerants. Other gasses also affect the ozone layer by causing a hole in the gas layer; this is called the ozone layer depletion. In my view, the ozone layer depletion is hence significant and we as Earth’s residents should prevent the constant expansion of the hole as it results in severe diseases and mutations in organisms. The ozone layer is vital because it filters harmful ultraviolet radiation and

This thinning of the gaseous layer has formed damage near the poles. This damage is technically a hole in the ozone layer. As the ozone layer gets thinner; more ultraviolet waves reach the Earth’s surface causing much destruction to humans, animals, plants and other living organisms like plankton and bacteria. Another study by National Geographic on a forest in San Bernardino National Forest, California, pathologists examined a pine tree which is damaged as a result of a thin layer of ozone above the area. Furthermore, many people, in Seringapatam, India, suffer from skin damage and skin diseases caused by exposing to the sunlight and getting sunburned as a result of ultraviolet waves reaching the
