| Ways To Stop Ozone Depletion
The sun’s ultraviolet rays are protected against by the ozone layer of the atmosphere. Humans suffer from skin cancer, cataracts in the eyes and sunburn due to exposure to such rays, which can also damage larvae of fish, plankton and crops. An increase of nearly 3 percent has been linked with each percentage point of decrease in atmospheric ozone.Foam-blown plastics, aerosols, solvent cleaners, and refrigerant gases are where chlorofluorocarbons find usage. |

These are among the leading causes of depletion of the ozone layer. The adverse effects may be contained through the provision of subsidies for the development of alternatives that are environmentally sustainable, besides banning their manufacture and reclamation of stocks that are already in existence.
The depletion can be checked in many ways.
The flights of rockets as well as those of aircraft in the upper layers of the atmosphere should be minimized, so that the reduction of oxygen in those layers and the deposition of water vapor there can be prevented. Prevention of deforestation and encouragement of aforestation can also go a long way towards prevention of loss of ozone and that is because oxygen is produced by the trees.
Control over the emission of waste, such as steam which has high temperature, from industries, should also be of benefit. Additionally, the use of hydrochlorofluorocarbons and chlorofluorocarbons should be eliminated or, at least, limited as far as possible.
Petrol and diesel should be replaced with LPG or CNG, to reduce harmful emissions. Leakages from air-conditioning should be prevented. Corporate entities as well as individuals should use products that are labeled as being friendly to the ozone layer.
