  1. OZONE PROTECTION SECTION- DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT, MALAYSIA OZONE • An unstable, poisonous allotrope of oxygen, O3, that is formed naturally in the ozone layer from atmospheric oxygen by electric discharge or exposure to ultraviolet radiation • formed by the action of solar ultraviolet light on oxygen. • also produced in the lower atmosphere by the photochemical reaction of certain pollutants. • Ozone is vital to human and animal survival because it is responsible for the absorption of the sun's ultraviolet light

  2. OZONE PROTECTION SECTION- DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT, MALAYSIA OZONE LAYER • A region of the upper atmosphere, between 19 and 48 kilometers above the earth surface • A diminished ozone layer allows more radiation to reach the Earth's surface. • For people, overexposure to UV rays can lead to skin cancer, cataracts, and weakened immune systems. • Increased UV can also lead to reduced crop yield and disruptions in the marine food chain.

  3. OZONE PROTECTION SECTION- DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT, MALAYSIA Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) • CFCs was the major cause of ozone depletion in the upper atmosphere. • Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) are similar to CFCs but less destructive to ozone. They are used as replacements for CFCs, but are to be phased out by the year 2010, as specified by the Montreal Protocol. It will be replaced by hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) which do not have any potential for the destruction of ozone.
