How Do You Reverse The Causes Of Ozone Layer Destruction?
Since the causes of ozone layer depletion were identified, solutions were put into place to reduce or eliminate their usage. The U.S. Clean Air Act and the Montreal Protocols address the problem internationally. The goal of these treaties is to stop the damage to the ozone layer by phasing out known contributors. Manmade compounds that enter the atmosphere are among the main causes of ozone layer depletion. They have been identified as chloroflurocarbons, hydrofluorocarbons, methyl bromide, halons, methyl chloroform and carbon tetrachloride. These gases remain in the stratosphere for as long as 200 years. Chloroflurocarbons are among the most damaging causes of ozone layer depletion and can be found in a number of different applications in various industries. Refrigerant gas, used in refrigeration and air-conditioning systems and heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, is one example. Firefighting equipment, aerosols, the production of Styrofoam and anesthetics all need chlo
