UVB has been linked to manyharmful effects, including skin cancers, cataracts, and harm to some crops and marine life. UVB与许多有害影响有关,包括皮肤癌、白内障以及对一些农作物和海洋生物的危害。 1,Ozone Depletion 臭氧层被破坏的原因/原理 Source: NASA 中间蓝紫色的就是臭氧层空洞 臭氧层被破坏的...
In subject area: Physics and Astronomy Ozone layer depletion refers to the reduction of ozone in the stratosphere due to both natural and human activities, which can lead to an increase in UV radiation at the Earth's surface. This depletion has various negative effects on the environment, inclu...
The primary source of ozone on Earth is the internal-combustion engine. Gases released from the tailpipe of a car or truck can be oxidized in the presence of sunlight to produce ozone. Ozone itself has harmful effects on both plants and animals. In humans and other animals, the gas ...
because water rapidly reduces the UV-B flux.Ozone depletionhas been most serious in the region of the “ozone hole” in the Antarctic, where impacts on oceanic ecosystems are already reported. As with other toxic substances, the long-term effects of moderate ozone depletion are difficult to pre...
EffectsDepletionMicroorganismsBecause of the stratospheric ozone depletion that took place during the last decades of the past century, the effects of ultraviolet radiation on plants, animals, humans, and microorganisms became intensively studied. In this chapter, we describe the role of the ozone ...
Impact on plants : Plants are greatly affected by this depletion. The growth and development of the plants gets affected. Its flowering capacity can fade off due to the overexposure to ultraviolet rays. The depletion of the ozone layer can lead to drastic change in the temperature ...
Effects on Animals Direct exposure to ultraviolet radiations leads to skin and eye cancer in animals. Effects on the Environment Strong ultraviolet rays may lead to minimal growth, flowering and photosynthesis in plants. The forests also have to bear the harmful effects of the ultraviolet rays. ...
However,UV radiation is required in optimum intensity for both plants and animals. Thisreview takes into an account the wide ranging effects of ozone depletion with amajority of them being detrimental to the plant system.doi:10.4236/ajps.2013.410247Anjali Aggarwal...
including molecules that make up the tissues of plants and animals. Several studies have documented the harmful effects of excessive ozone on crop production, forest growth, and human health. For example, people with asthma are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of ozone. Thus, ozone ...
