Take steps to protect ozone layer
Ahmedabad: Watch your usage of refrigerators and air-conditioners. As a byproduct, it releases cloro-floro carbon (CFC) that damages the protective ozone layer and inflicts ultra-violet rays that has side effects ranging from skin cancer to collapse of food pyramid. Gujarat Science City organised seminars and workshops to mark September 16 as the World Ozone Day on its campus.

Observation of halogen species in the Amundsen Gulf, Arctic, by active long-path differential optical absorption spectroscopy
In the polar tropospheric boundary layer, reactive halogen species (RHS) are responsible for ozone depletion as well as the oxidation of elemental mercury and dimethyl sulphide. After polar sunrise, air masses enriched in reactive bromine cover areas of several million square kilometers. Still, the source and release mechanisms of halogens are not completely understood.
