Ozone-Layer Depletion

From the Paper:

"Ozone Layer Depletion and Its Effects


Human activities are increasing the worldwide atmospheric concentrations of chlorofluorocarbons, carbon dioxide, methane, and several other gases. A growing body of scientific evidence suggests that, if these trends continue, stratospheric ozone may decline and global temperature may rise. Because the ozone layer shields the earth's surface from damaging ultraviolet radiation (UV), damage to the ozone layer could harm future crop yields, destroy materials, and place additional stress on aquatic plants and animals. A global warming from the "greenhouse effect" could threaten human health and cause melting of the polar ice caps. Precipitation and storm patterns could change, and the level of the oceans could eventually rise. These possibilities emphasize the increasing danger of a disappearing ozone layer. If action..."
