28.1.1.3Depletion of the ozone layer Ground level ozone is a pollutant but stratospheric ozone (15–20 km. above the earth's surface) performs a vital role in filtering out harmful ultraviolet solar radiation. Indeed, in the absence of this filtering effect, life could not exist on earth. ...
PittsJr., in Chemistry of the Upper and Lower Atmosphere, 2000 B. OZONE DEPLETION POTENTIALS (ODP) The contribution of individual compounds to ozone depletion is characterized by the ozone depletion potential (ODP). The ODP of a compound as normally defined is the ratio of the global loss of...
Human activity has damaged this protective layer of the stratosphere, but scientists say the ozone layer is on track for recovery.
Ozone depletion, gradual thinning of Earth’s ozone layer caused by the release of chemical compounds containing gaseous chlorine or bromine from industry and other human activities. The thinning is most pronounced in the polar regions, especially over A
a few years before by Joseph Priestley in 1774, and he had called the gasdephlogisticated air.) The same publication also introduced the French words that were soon adopted into English ashydrogenandsodium chloride(common salt), among other terms commonly used in chemistry. The French word...
When we come to the understanding – as Warburg documented – that the fundamental cause of cancer is oxygen depletion, how to reverse it becomes obvious:to rid the body of cancer, we must flood the body with oxygen.And just as there are many ways that the body can become starved for ox...
Surface climate predictability in the Northern Hemisphere might be improved due to a previously proposed, albeit uncertain, link to springtime ozone depletion in the Arctic. Here we use observations and targeted chemistry–climate experiments from two models to isolate the surface impacts of ozone ...
All these questions need to be further investigated. More information:Luyang Xu et al, The Effect of Super Volcanic Eruptions on Ozone Depletion in a Chemistry-Climate Model,(2019).

PINUS-CLAUSAThe technique of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, in conjunction with new methods of sample presentation, has been used to study biopolymer functionality in aqueous systems. Changes in the spectra of kappa-carrageenan gels have been observed with both counter-ion and ...
