Summary Of: Ozone layer

The photochemical mechanisms that give rise to the ozone layer were worked out by the British physicist... Although the concentration of the ozone in the ozone layer is very small... The ozone layer is very effective at screening out UV... the ozone layer actually increases in depth... The ozone layer is higher in altitude in the tropics... The ozone layer can be depleted by free radical catalysts... scientists announced that the depletion of the ozone layer may be slowing down due to the international ban on CFCs... so the final recovery of the ozone layer is expected to require several lifetimes...
