Ozone Hole

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Environmental Science ((BRIEFSENVIRONMENTAL))

Abstract

Environmental pollution has been occurring with increasing intensity and geographic spread ever since the humankind discovered fire about 300,000 years ago [1]. But environmental pollution began to attract popular attention on a global scale only since the lower half of the previous century [2–4]. This has happened as growing population and industrialization have made environmental pollution increasingly prevalent and bothersome [5]. This chapter sets the backdrop for discussing ozone hole and its ramifications. It recapitulates what atmosphere consists of, how ozone forms in the atmosphere, and why is the presence of ozone so vital to our well-being.

This chapter sets the backdrop for discussing ozone hole and its ramifications. It recapitulates what atmosphere consists of, how ozone forms in the atmosphere, and why is the presence of ozone so vital to our well-being.
