Question

High flying jets and rockets release _______________.

Answer 1

Ozone-depleting substances (ODS) :

• The presence of an ozone blanket in the upper atmosphere also called the ozonosphere prevents the harmful ultraviolet radiations from reaching our planet earth.
• The ozone-depleting substances (ODS) are being released into the atmosphere by high flying jets and rockets which convert ozone into oxygen.
• Actually, these are chemical substances like chlorofluorocarbons (Chlorofluoromethane or Freon.) nitrogen oxides, chlorine, carbon tetrachloride, nitrous oxides, etc.

Hence, high flying jets and rockets release ozone-depleting substances(ODS).
