Due to extensive use of man made chemicals like CFCs Ozone gas colorless and naturally occurring gas Ozone layer - a deep layer of ozone molecules in stratosphere It is our defense against the Suns UV rays. Ozone Depletion destruction of stratospheric ozone layer

The ozone layer guards us just like an umbrella guards us from the suns rays. JUST IMAGINE IF IT HAD HOLES??

GM Chemist discovered Chlorofluorocarbons in 1930 (CFCs)

also known as Freon Very stable & Inexpensive

When CFCs reach there, UV rays causes them to break apart & release chlorine atoms which react with ozone. staring chemical cycles ultimately destructing the ozone.

FACT : 1 chlorine atom can break apart 100,000 ozone molecules !!
