Unit 2 – Protecting the Ozone Layer


In today’s unit, we discussed a few topics such as defining ozone, how the ozone absorbs UV light that could potentially lead to skin cancer, how the ozone is formed and destroyed and how the “Ozone” hole occurs in Antarctica and in September and October.

The most interesting part of today’s class were the application questions which tested us knowledge outside of what was taught in class. For example, we discussed the difference between the terms such as “Ozone layer” and “Ozone screen” and why man-made ozone is not sustainable to solve the Ozone depletion.
