2 What is Ozone? Ozone is super charged oxygen molecules (O3) It is made naturally by the suns energy interacting with atmospheric oxygen wikipedia

3 What is Ozone cont. Our primary defense against harmful UVB radiation from the sun Ozone layer is between 6 and 30 miles above the Earth Ozone reflects radiation back out into space, but also reflects heat back down to Earth wordpress

5 How is the Ozone Depleted Ciesin.org

6 What is a CFC Chlorofluorocarbons destroy Ozone molecules Used to be common in refrigeration units and hair spray NASA

7 The Good News NASA April 6, 2012

8 Ozone Depletion Regulation Clean Air act (1990) – Manufacturer’s phase out of ozone depleting compounds – Excise tax on sales of ozone depleting compounds – Required use of recovery equipment on air conditioning and refrigerators – Set maximum allowable leakage rates
