Ozone depletion: who is to blame and what to do? Chapter 1

by Nikolay Dagaev | 12-09-2018 23:54 recommendations 0

16 September - international day for the protection of the ozone layer.
The motto ?f the international day for the protection of the ozone layer were the words: "Save the sky: protect yourself-protect the ozone layer." 
How much do we know about the ozone layer? And how true is this knowledge?
Without the Sun life on our planet would be impossible. It is a fact. However the Sun, as and the fire, can not only give light and warmly, but inflict irreparable harm. 
  Under the influence of ultraviolet solar radiation and the electrostatic field of the Earth, ozone is formed in the high layers of the atmosphere, which then forms the ozone layer. It's a shield to protect all life.  ?o the surface of the planet comes only a small part of the hard ultraviolet radiation, harmful to the human body.
   In the second half of the twentieth century scientists discovered that the ozone layer had lost its integrity. For the first time the so-called "ozone hole" was discovered over Antarctica. In 1984, George Farman, a member of the British Antarctic expedition, noted a 40% decrease in stratospheric ozone concentration over Halley Bay station in Antarctica. When refining data from the Nimbus satellite (USA) , it was found that the reduction of ozone concentration over Antarctica has been going on for 10 years. 
  However to this day scientists around the world have not agreed on an understanding of the causes of the destruction of the ozone "shield". But unless it is possible, without understanding the true reasons of a problem, to eliminate it? 
  In the mid-1980s, American scientists made public the fact that a number of widely used chemicals (chlorofluorocarbons) were extremely dangerous to the ozone layer, causing its destruction. In 1987 more than 70 countries, including Russia, have signed the Montreal Protocol on substances that deplete the ozone layer. But, decades later, this hypothesis was not confirmed.
 According to recent reports of the intergovernmental panel on climate, the lifetime of ozone-hazardous gases in the atmosphere is not thousands of years, but only two years. Soviet physicists this question was carefully studied in the middle of the XX century. And that refutes man-made freon hypothesis of destruction of the ozonosphere.
  Igor Mazurin - Russian physicist, author of the most energy-efficient and safe hladon R510, developed specifically for the space station "Peace" states: "The Hypothesis, which has not been confirmed for 30 years and has not given any results should definitely be recognized as a mistake."
 There are other hypotheses about the causes of the destruction of the ozone layer. Among them the most popular are the following: 
1. The theory that ozone is destroyed as a result of the launch of the spacecraft. But ozone holes-a sharp decrease in the concentration of ozone molecules in one place, they then appear, then disappear. And until now, no one can say exactly what causes the destruction of this layer.
2. Theory about the influence of solar flares. Solar flares can affect the state of the ozone layer, their action "discharges" ozone molecules, and holes are formed. Over time, they also naturally decrease.
  As we can see, there are theories, but none of them has yet become generally accepted. 
  In my article, I would like to call on all scientists in the world to join forces to find the true causes of the formation of ozone "holes" and the means to solve this serious problem. 
  Together we can do more!

    Hello Nikolay, this is the fact that I never knew before : '1. The theory that ozone is destroyed as a result of the launch of the spacecraft. But ozone holes-a sharp decrease in the concentration of ozone molecules in one place, they then appear, then disappear. '
    Along with many other facts, it is truly due to our human activities that increase the speed of ozone depletion and destruction. Closer we get to those facts and discover them, it is more likely for us to develop alternative ways for them, too!
    Thanks for your report :)

    Hello Nikolay
    As most science develops from the verification of hypotheses it is good to know that lots of scientific observation are in the stream to make ozone depletion matter clearer.
    It would be even nicer if a significant scientifical result could be discovered which can contribute to the mitigation of this problem!
    Thanks for introducing such information, I learned a lot from this report :)

    Hi Hnin!

    I believe that all the hypothesis are valid in the ongoing ozone depletion and that all theories should be taken into regard when mitigating this issue. For scientists, they need to continue to looking at all possible theories of ozone depletion in order to further lessen the depletion.

    Thank you so much for you report Hnin!

    Nikolay,

    The hypotheses were based on series of scientific observations. therefore, if those hypotheses have been proved wrong, then, there is need to search for the true cause of the Ozone hole. Thanks so much, your report was research provoking!
