Environment effect of ozone depletion

Ozone depletion effect

1.       Climate change

a.       Accumulation of troposphere ozone and acid aerosols, causing worsening air pollution and acid rain

                                                               i.      Environmental effect – crop and forest damage

                                                             ii.      Human health effect – respiratory, illness and heart problem

b.      Photochemical formation of troposphere ozone       

       

c.       Direct human health effect

                                                               i.      Suppression of immunity disease, less effective vaccination

                                                             ii.      Rise in incidence of skin cancer

                                                            iii.      Eye damage – increase incidence of blindness

d.      Damage to materials, paints, plastics rubber

e.      Damage to biological links in human food chain

                                                               i.      Terrestrial – reduce crop yield stunted plant growth

                                                             ii.      Aquatic – Lover fish harvest

2.       UV radiation
