It protects us from harmful UV rays from the sun. This ozone layer is between 6 to 30 miles above the Earth's surface.]]> 2017-07-27 23:25:23 UTC https://padlet.com/maddie_foushee/WhatsOzone/wish/179607918 maddie_foushee https://padlet.com/maddie_foushee/WhatsOzone/wish/179608169 Good ozone is disappearing! It's being gradually destroyed by man-made chemicals that are referred to as ODS (ozone depleting substances) including CFCs, HCFCs, and others. It is estimated that 1 chlorine atom can destroy about 100,000 good ozone molecules.]]> 2017-07-27 23:27:26 UTC https://padlet.com/maddie_foushee/WhatsOzone/wish/179608169 maddie_foushee https://padlet.com/maddie_foushee/WhatsOzone/wish/179608601 Ozone is a gas that occurs in both that Earth's upper atmosphere and at ground level.]]> 2017-07-27 23:31:12 UTC https://padlet.com/maddie_foushee/WhatsOzone/wish/179608601 maddie_foushee https://padlet.com/maddie_foushee/WhatsOzone/wish/179609254 2017-07-27 23:39:02 UTC https://padlet.com/maddie_foushee/WhatsOzone/wish/179609254 maddie_foushee https://padlet.com/maddie_foushee/WhatsOzone/wish/179615144 More than 180 countries have taken measures to prevent further depletion of stratospheric ozone. The EPA has established regulations to reduce the use of ODS. If the US and other countries stop producing ODS, natural ozone production should return stratospheric ozone levels to normal]]> 2017-07-28 01:04:06 UTC https://padlet.com/maddie_foushee/WhatsOzone/wish/179615144 maddie_foushee https://padlet.com/maddie_foushee/WhatsOzone/wish/179615945 2017-07-28 01:15:22 UTC https://padlet.com/maddie_foushee/WhatsOzone/wish/179615945 maddie_foushee https://padlet.com/maddie_foushee/WhatsOzone/wish/179615995 Ground level ozone is created by chemical interactions between nitrogen oxide and volatile organic compounds in sunlight.

Throughout the country, programs have been put in place to control bad ozone emissions, reformulate fuels, and to cut NOx and VOC emissions. Voluntary programs encourage people to adopt practices to reduce harmful emissions.]]> 2017-07-28 01:23:18 UTC https://padlet.com/maddie_foushee/WhatsOzone/wish/179616528
