Ozone
2
Tropospheric or Stratospheric
3
Stratospheric Ozone Screens out harmful UV rays from the sun
Has been thinning due to CFC’s
4
Ozone’s Connection to Global Warming
As the stratospheric ozone layer thins, more UV light is allowed to reach Earth’s surface Extra UV light harms plants – Phytoplankton in the ocean are reduced
5
Ozone’s Connection to Global Warming
Less phytoplankton Less CO2 absorbed by the ocean More CO2 in atmosphere More global warming
6
Tropospheric Ozone Harmful to living tissues
Caused by chemical reactions between various air pollutants A major component of smog
7
