Acid Rain & Stratospheric Ozone Depletion By: John Nguyen
Acid Rain Precipitation with an acidic component May appear in wet or dry forms: rain, snow, hail, fog, or dust. Result of Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) and Nitrogen oxides (NOx) from pollution emissions
Ozone Layer - What is it? Thin layer of Ozone (O3) Found in Stratosphere Projects life on Earth from harmful UV radiation
Stratospheric Ozone Depletion Caused chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and nitrogen oxides (NO) CFCs found in products like refrigerants, solvents, and foam-blowing agents.
