This study examines students' -attending different high schools- misconceptions about theozone layer depletion. In order to obtain the data, a closed-form Likert type Questionnaire wasadopted from the study of Groves & Pugh (2002). 213 students from different high school typeswere asked to answer...
In the spring, the depletion of stratospheric ozone over the Antarctic region, typically south of 55° latitude, the formation of the hole is explained by the activation of chlorine and the catalytic destruction of O3, it occurs during September, when the polar regions are sunlit but the air ...

The projection that the ozone layer will substantially recover from ozonedepletion by 2050 is based on the assumption that the protocol's regulations will be strictlyfollowed. Yet there is considerable evidence of violations, particularly in the form of the release ofozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons ...
Atmospheric Ozone the substance that controls the absorption of solar radiation in the earth’s atmosphere. At low altitudes, where standard conditions of pressure and temperature prevail (760 mm Hg and 0°C), the average thickness of the ozone layer is negligible, ranging from 2.5 to 3 mm. ...
