Among the options listed below, by which of the following is the ozone layer disturbed?
(a) Combustion of fossil fuels
(b) Refrigerators and air conditioners (both household and industrial)
(c) Automobiles and supersonic jets
(d) All of the above
(e) None of the above
The correct answer to this question is option (d). All of the above.
The ozone layer is present in the stratosphere region for protecting us from the harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun. There are various factors that cause depletion of the ozone layer. The thinning of the ozone layer occurs when the ozone molecules are attacked by the chlorine and bromine atoms of the atmosphere.
The ozone layer is largely affected by the factors that are mentioned above. It includes automobiles and air-conditioner usage to supersonic jets and combustion of fossil fuels.
