3 Thinning of the Ozone Layer Evidence from satellites of thinning of the Ozone layer led to the Montreal Protocol for reducing CFCs

4 Ozone Hole Darkest blue areas represent regions of maximum ozone depletion 1979 1982 1984 1986 1988 1990 1992 1994 1997 1999 2004

5 Increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide Carbon dioxide levels have risen by 30% in the last 200 years. The IPCC projects that, if unchecked, atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations will range from 650 to 970 ppm by 2100. 2000-about 365 ppm

6 Movement of transboundary pollutants A large dust storm developed in East Asia on 6-7 April 2001, moving over Russia, Japan, the Pacific Ocean, Canada, and ultimately over the United States on 17 April 2001

7 Air pollution due to wild fires Tens of thousands of fires are detected every year Wild fires in Africa are a major source of air pollution

8 Retreating Gangotri glacier Receding glacier tracked since 1780 In the last 25 years, Gangotri Glacier has retreated more than 850m (2 788 ft)
