Ozone depletion

Ozone Depletion Timeline

  • Discovery of Ozone

    Christian Schöenbein identifies ozone in the laboratory
  • Period: to

    Ozone

  • Ozone in the Air

    Andrei Houzeau finds ozone present in natural air
  • 03

    Jean-Louis Soret proves that ozone is O3
  • CFC GROWS RAPIDLY

    CFC market expands rapidly
  • The Beginning

    The Beginning
    Loss of Ozone in the lower stratosphere was acknowleged in the 1970's by a research group from the British Antarctic Survey who was monitoring the atmosphere above Antarctica from a research station.
  • CFC's in atmosphere

    James Lovelock detects CFC's in atmosphere
  • Detection of CFC's in the atmosphere

    James Lovelock detects CFC's in atmosphere
  • First Measurements

    The first measurements of the Ozone were taken and proccesed
  • Ozone Expansion

    By 1987, the hole had increased to the size of the continental U.S
  • CFC production phase-out

    DuPont agrees to CFC production phase-out
  • CFC PRODUCTION ENDS

    CFC production ends in US and Europe
  • CFC Production Ends

    CFC production ends in US and Europe
  • CFC PRODUCTIONS ENDS

    CFC production ends in US and Europe
  • CFC ENDS!!!!!!!!!

    CFC production ends world-wide
  • Tropospheric considered "BAD" ozone

    “Bad” ozone forms when nitrogen oxide gases from vehicle and industrial productions react with natural and organic compounds.
  • Function of the Ozone Layer

    The Function of the Ozone is that is protects us mostly from the Sun's harmful radiation and UV rays.
  • What is Ozone?

    What is Ozone?
    Ozone is a gas that occurs both in the Earth's upper atmosphere and at ground level
  • Stratoshpere in connection with Ozone layer

    Since the stratosphere is connected with the ozone layer, the temperature is increased. People have used a lot of pollutants which has had access to the air and has caused problems with the ozone.
  • CFC's Destroy Ozone Layer

    CFC's destroy the Ozone layer because it is a Pollutant of the Ozone Layer. The Ozone layer decrease the UV radiation in sunlight.
  • Antarctic Ozone Layer depleted

    Springtime Antarctic ozone hole disappears
