World Ozone Day 2023: In the realm of environmental consciousness, September 16th holds a special significance as it marks World Ozone Day. This day serves as a timely reminder for us to reflect on the critical role played by the ozone layer in protecting life on Earth and to renew our commitment to preserving it. With an Indian tone, let us delve into the importance of this day and the actions we can take to secure a greener and sustainable future.
The Significance of World Ozone Day
World Ozone Day commemorates the date of the signing of the Montreal Protocol in 1987. This historic treaty aimed to phase out the production and consumption of ozone-depleting substances (ODS), such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons, responsible for thinning the ozone layer. Through international cooperation, the ozone layer's recovery has been a remarkable success, demonstrating the power of collective action in tackling global environmental challenges.
Preserving the Ozone Layer: India's Role
India, as a responsible global citizen, has been actively participating in ozone layer protection efforts. It has adhered to the commitments of the Montreal Protocol, implementing measures to phase out ODS in various industries. With strong regulations and public awareness campaigns, India has made substantial progress in safeguarding the ozone layer, which, in turn, contributes to mitigating climate change and promoting sustainable development.
What is Ozone layer ?
- Ozone is a natural gas composed of three atoms of oxygen occurring naturally in the atmosphere.
- This is found between 20-30 kilometer above the surface of the earth.
- Ozone layer acts like a blanket as a natural filter absorbing the sun's ultraviolet rays and protecting the living beings.
- Dobson is the international unit to measure the thickness of Ozone layer. According to environment specialists it's average thickness mandatory 300 db but in present it exists 220 db.
Depletion in Ozone layer……Major concern ?
Depletion in Ozone layer became a matter of concern in the late 1970's. This layer is concern for the scientists for past few decades. Scientists have found a hole in the Ozone layer over Antarctica.The depletion of Ozone layer and Ozone hole has created a deep concern worldwide with increase in cancer risks and other harmful effects n humans and the environment. Ozone depletion is the gradual thinning of the ozone layer meaning less protection from the sun's UV rays, which is caused by the releases of gases like chlorine, bromine, CFC, solvents etc. CFC mostly uses in industries, especially these are used in refrigerators and home insulations.
Causes and effects of the ozone depletion:
- There are several effects of ozone depletion.It affects human health as causes of skin cancer, asthama, and human immune system too. In recent study also found that Eye's Corina and Lense also disturbs by UV rays.
- .In the marine system, damage has been seen in development stages of fishes and also harms the reproduction system.
- Plants photosynthesis reaction and biological decomposers which play role to clean environment, also affected by sun's UV rays.
Montreal Protocol and Vienna Convention:
After figuring out the adverse effects and depletion in Ozone layer 1985 Many countries adopted the Vienna Convention for the protection of the Ozone layer. It is a multilateral environment agreement that was agreed in 1985 in the Vienna conference. It came into force in 1988, acting as a frame work for the international efforts to protect the ozone layer.It is designed to protect Ozon layer by phasing out the productive if Ozone depleting substances that are responsible for Ozone depletion.
Should be we worried about it……..?
In a recent study, it is found that in India Ozone concentration has increased by 27 % between 1990 and 2016 due to rapid industrialization growing power demand and fossils fuels burning. Recently it is also studied that Ozone depletion in Antarctica is healing automatically however we should concern about it.
