MECHANISM
WHAT IS OZONE HOLE
severe depletion of the
ozone layer high above
Antarctica.
primarily caused by
human-produced
compounds that release
chlorine and Bromine
gases in the
stratosphere.
OZONE DEPLETING
SUBSTANCES (ODS)
• Chlorofluoro Carbons (Freons) – foam
blowing agents, solvents, refrigerants.
• Bromofluoro Carbons (Halons) – Fire
Extinguishers
• Carbon Tetrachloride – Industrial Chemical
• Trichloroethane – Solvent
• Methyl Bromide - Fumigant
DEPLETION IN OZONE LAYER
OZONE DEPLETION – who is
responsible
THICKNESS OF OZONE LAYER
equals to
0.01 mm thickness at
standard temperature
and pressure.

CFCs cannot reach the stratosphere because
they are heavier than air.
