OZONE & OZONE LAYER



  • Ozone occurs naturally in the Earth’s upper atmosphere – 10 to 30 miles above the Earth’s surface where it forms a protective layer that shields us from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays.

  • This beneficial ozone is gradually being destroyed by manmade chemicals

  • For people, overexposure to UV rays can lead to skin cancer, cataracts and weakened immune systems.

  • Increased UV can also lead to reduced crop yield and disruptions in the marine food chain.
