Depletion of ozone layer and its consequences.

Abstract

The ozone layer is a layer in the earth’s atmosphere which contains a relatively high concentration of a zone (O3). This layer absorbs 93-99% of the sun’s high-frequency ultraviolet light, which is potentially damaging to life on earth. Over 910K of the ozone in the earth’s atmosphere is present here. It is mainly located in the lower portion of the stratospheric approximately 100Km to 50km above the earth, through the thickness varies seasonally and geographically the ozone layer was discovered in 1913 by a fresh physicists (Charles fabulous and Henri Boson). Its properties were explored in detail by the British meteorologist G.M.B Dobson who developed a simple spectrophotometer (the Dobson meter) that could be used to measure stratospheric ozone from the ground.
