Conservation of Ozone in Hong Kong The ozone layer present in the stratosphere of the Earth is utmost important to us as it protects us from the exposure of ultraviolet rays which leads to several harmful effects. Without the ozone layer‚ human will be more prone to skin cancer and eye cataracts. Ultraviolet rays can also cause harm to marine life by reducing the amount of planktons and consequently depreciates the amount of fishes in the ocean. Besides that‚ the depletion of the ozone layer disrupts

The importance of environmental protection Environmental protection is an increasingly pressing issue all over the world. Ozone depletion‚ green house effect‚ global climate changes or global warming‚ etc‚ are the main issues in environment. Recent years‚ many countries and various organizations have paid more attention into environmental protection. A treaty about global environmental protection was discussed by 192 nations in Copenhagen in December 2011. But I fell every individual

that air is something we can’t live without. When we breathe the polluted air‚ we can get seriously ill. Ground-level ozone can damage lung tissue‚ and is \especially harmful for those with asthma and other chronic lung diseases. Sunlight and high temperatures‚ combined with other pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds‚ can cause the ground-level ozone to increase.We cannot escape from the polluted air-it’s everywhere‚ even in our homes and we are breathing it non-stop

some of which can cause problems for humans‚ plants‚ and animals. There are several main types of pollution and well-known effects of pollution which are commonly discussed. These include smog‚ acid rain‚ the greenhouse effect‚ and "holes" in the ozone layer. Each of these problems has serious implications for our health and well-being as well as for the whole environment. One type of air pollution is the release of particles into the air
