42. Ozone: Good Up High, Bad Nearby
    An introductory and comparative look at the environmental effects of stratospheric and ground level ozone.  
    http://www.policyalmanac.org/environment/archive/ozone.shtml
    
    Extractions: GOOD UP HIGH O zone is a gas that forms in the atmosphere when 3 atoms of oxygen are combined (0 ). It is not emitted directly into the air, but at ground level is created by a chemical reaction between oxides of nitrogen (NO x ), and volatile organic compounds (VOC) in the presence of sunlight. Ozone has the same chemical structure whether it occurs high above the earth or at ground level and can be "good" or "bad," depending on its location in the atmosphere. How Can Ozone Be Both Good and Bad? O zone occurs in two layers of the atmosphere. The layer surrounding the earth's surface is the troposphere. Here, ground-level or "bad" ozone is an air pollutant that damages human health, vegetation, and many common materials. It is a key ingredient of urban smog. The troposphere extends to a level about 10 miles up, where it meets the second layer, the stratosphere. The stratospheric or "good" ozone layer extends upward from about 10 to 30 miles and protects life on earth from the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays (UV-b).

Extensive global cooperation is essential to deal with the global threat to health and environment from Ozone Depletion. Sweden began phasing out ODS in the 1980s and has successfully phased out ODS (including HCFCs) without problems with illegal import or disruptions to functions in business and society and without phasing in other hazardous chemicals. Cooperation between the authorities in charge and industry has proven to be a key factor for achieving successful phase-out.

    Extractions: Learn the terminology and skills used by today's scientists while focusing on one of Earth's most pressing environmental problems-Ozone in our environment. Recently, ozone, a simple molecule made from three oxygen atoms, has been discussed with great concern in headline stories such as, "Rising Ozone Levels in LA Cause Smog Alert," and "Depletion in Ozone Layer May Lead to Cancer!" Whether it is too much or too little, the effect of human activities on the level of ozone in our environment is under close scrutiny by environmentalists, politicians, and lawmakers. The lessons in this unit well help you discover why. Ozone can be found in two very different layers of our atmosphere, the troposphere and the stratosphere. The environmental problems related to the levels of ozone in these two atmospheric layers are very different. In the troposphere, the level of the atmosphere that we live in, ozone is a component of the air pollution commonly referred to as "smog." The amount of ozone in our troposphere is increasing because of chemicals emitted wherever natural gas, gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene, and oil are combusted. Nearly 90% of our Earth's ozone is found in the atmospheric layer above ours called the stratosphere. This layer extends from about 14.5 kilometers to 50 kilometers (9-31 miles) in altitude and is where airplanes fly. The ozone layer is within the stratosphere, approximately 15-40 kilometers (10-25 miles) above the Earth's surface. This ozone is important for blocking the Earth from the Sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays by absorbing the UV energy and keeping the rays from penetrating to the Earth.

    Extractions: Geophysics - Global Change - Ozone Depletion Return to Geophysics Main Page Go to Environment Main Page About 90 percent of the earth's ozone molecules are concentrated in a layer of the stratosphere called the "Ozone Layer". Stratospheric ozone is a naturally occurring gas that filters the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation. A depleted ozone layer allows more radiation to reach the Earth's surface. Among other problems overexposure to UV rays can lead to skin cancer, cataracts, and a weakened immune systems in humans. Increased UV can also lead to reduced crop yields and disruptions in the marine food chain. Ozone depletion is caused by the release of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and other ozone-depleting substances (ODS), which were used widely as refrigerants, insulating foams, and solvents. Although CFCs are heavier than air, they are eventually carried into the stratosphere in a process that can take as long as 2 to 5 years. When CFCs reach the stratosphere, the ultraviolet radiation from the sun causes them to break apart and release chlorine atoms which react with ozone, starting chemical cycles of ozone destruction, and depleting the ozone layer. One chlorine atom can disassociate more than 100,000 ozone molecules. The most notable news about ozone depletion is the appearance of a hole in the ozone layer over Antarctica. The links below will give you both basic and technical material on the subject of ozone depletion.

    Extractions: This global map of ozone for local noon (GMT) is generated by the GOME Fast Delivery Service. This unique service is provided by the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI), using data from the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (GOME) aboard the European Remote-Sensing satellite, ERS-2. The ozone fields are generated with the operational data assimilation system TM3-DAM, which is driven by the meteorological fields (wind, surface pressure, temperature) from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). On the basis of these fields, it is possible to give a forecast for the ozone fields for the next four days. Knowledge of these ozone fields enables a clear-sky UV index forecast at local noon for today and the following four days. Clicking on the pictures below will show the forecasts of the ozone field and the clear-sky UV index forecast at local noon for the following four days. You may notice that there are no data available for some parts of the Earth surface and wonder why it is possible to forecast the ozone levels for the whole Earth. Indeed, the GOME instrument measures the backscattered sunlight and, so, depending on the season there are parts of the Earth not illuminated by the sun at all times. However, these gaps can be filled by using assimilation techniques which are modelling the movement of the ozone using ECMWF windfields.

    Extractions: Thinning of the stratospheric ozone layer, first conspicuous as a “hole” over Antarctica, is now apparent also in the north, and the response to curbs on manmade emissions of ozone-harming chemicals is slower than expected. ESA joined in the worldwide effort to measure ozone and study its chemistry with the GOME instrument in ERS-2 (1995). An improved version, SCIAMACHY, will be carried on Envisat (2002). Two other instruments will detect ozone and other chemicals in the atmosphere seen on the limb (edge) of the Earth from Envisat’s viewpoint, by their absorption of starlight (GOMOS) and their emission of infrared signatures (MIPAS).

    Extractions: I n October of this year, scientists who study the atmosphere made an alarming announcement: The ozone layer, the thin shell of atmospheric gas that prevents the sun's most harmful rays from reaching earth, is showing some of the worst signs of damage ever. During the onset of the 1998 Antarctic spring (autumn in the Northern Hemisphere), a hole three times the size of Australia over 3500 miles in diameter developed in the ozone layer over the South Pole. This year's ozone hole is the largest ever observed, and it stands as testament to the power humans have to degrade the earth's fragile environment.

    Extractions: Tropospheric Ozone and Vegetation Impacts Evidence of the harmful effects to vegetation caused by tropospheric or ground level ozone has accumulated over recent decades. The first observations of large-scale vegetation damage were made in USA during the 1950s with the occurrence of widespread forest decline. During the 1970s and 1980s forest decline was also observed in central Europe. These observations of injury initiated various research programmes that have resulted in established links between elevated ozone concentrations and damage. Economic assessments of annual crop losses due to ozone have also been performed; perhaps the most well-known study carried out by Adams et al. (1988) estimated annual USA crop losses caused by tropospheric ozone at $3000 million US dollars. Figure 1 : Ozone visible injury on commercially grown muskmelon (Cumis melo) cv.
