Dear Bhaskar,
Ozone (O3) is a gas that occurs naturally in the atmosphere. Its portion in the atmospheric gaseous composition is too small, but it plays a vital role in protecting living organisms from the sun. The concentrated ozone forms a layer in the stratosphere many miles away from the Earth's surface, acting as a protective shield.
There are many ionizing and non-ionizing radiations emitted by the sun and other planets, with UV rays being of particular concern. When living organisms, including plants and aquatic organisms, are exposed to these UV rays, they are affected. In humans, it can cause skin cancer and cataracts in the eyes.
The ozone layer filters out the harmful UV rays from entering the Earth's atmosphere, thus protecting living organisms.
The major culprit in causing ozone depletion is CFC (chlorofluorocarbon), a highly stable gaseous chemical known as "Freon," used in refrigerators and other purposes. It remains in the atmosphere for a long time and reaches high altitudes when released. The CFCs that reach the stratosphere engage in a violent chain reaction with ozone, depleting it. This depletion leads to the formation of the "ozone hole," allowing UV rays to penetrate the atmosphere and cause detrimental effects on living organisms, as explained above.
I hope you now have a better understanding of the importance of ozone.

Thank you, Mr. SSM, for sharing some basic ideas about Ozone (O3) with our members. Two decades ago, there was news stating that the Ozone Layer was damaged due to the overuse of refrigerators and ACs. However, as a result of that news, we now have CFC-free refrigerators and ACs in the market.
Shall we expect to learn about the history and origin of Ozone Day celebration and the procedures for celebrating Ozone Day from our members?

Dear Hansa,
It is great to see the history of Ozone Day. This is what I expect from this thread, which will help our members to follow and take the lead in celebrating World Ozone Day. Due to this, our members who are not aware of this (Including me) can learn about Ozone Day.
Thank you, Hansa, for sharing a nice, simple yet informative presentation.

Great learning. Though, there was always a yearning to know about this topic, it came in handy when I was collecting information on environmental issues. It is a known fact that most of the upcoming offices nowadays have centralized AC and even huge refrigerators to cater to a lot of demands of employees. The use of such appliances in our regular life has become so significant that we fail to recognize the ill-effects of the same appliances when they start depleting in their efficiency. The resultant release of obnoxious gases, though not immediately noticeable, is always making a freeway for ascent to heaven in a different way. We, as safety professionals, have a lot of teaching to do. Let us start from our home, colonies, localities. If we can convince even 10 people in a year, we may be satisfied to the extent of saving a few years of life for our lovely Earth.
I thank everyone who has contributed to this noble cause.
