9 1 Enrichment Saving the Ozone Layer There is no doubt that chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in the atmosphere are contributing to the depletion of Earth s ozone layer. Why does this matter? Atmospheric ozone, most of which is concentrated in the stratosphere about kilometers above Earth s surface, absorbs the most dangerous ultraviolet light (UV-B) from the Sun. UV-B is known to cause skin cancer and to damage eyes. It also harms various crops and forms of marine life. The CFCs, which were manufactured for use as refrigerants and other applications, can eventually be carried by winds high into the stratosphere. Normally they are very stable, but in the stratosphere they break down and release atomic chlorine. The chlorine atoms then react with ozone molecules. It is estimated that it takes only one chlorine atom to destroy 100,000 ozone molecules. Early Experiments This knowledge came about because of experiments begun in the 1880s when scientists began to find ways of detecting and measuring the various gases present in the atmosphere. One experiment lead to another as new hypotheses were tested and either discarded or proven true. It was at this time that ozone was shown to be the substance protecting Earth from UV-B radiation. In 1970, a British scientist was able to detect CFCs carried by winds to many parts of the globe. This is not surprising; at that time nearly 1 billion kilograms of CFCs were being manufactured yearly. No one yet knew the danger they posed. 1. Why didn t scientists know before the 1880s the role that ozone plays in the atmosphere? 2. What is it in CFCs that destroys ozone? Rowland-Molina Hypothesis Two scientists, Sherwood Rowland and Mario Molina, decided to find out what happened to all the CFCs. Basing their studies on work previously done by many other scientists, they asserted that CFC chlorine atoms were combining with and destroying ozone molecules in the stratosphere. Not all scientists agreed. Some advanced the hypothesis that chlorine from volcanic eruptions and other natural sources accounted for ozone depletion. Two years later the Rowland-Molina hypothesis was confirmed by the National Academy of Sciences. Hole Over Antarctica In 1984, a hole in the ozone layer was discovered over Antarctica. This was verified the following year by a NASA satellite. The danger was now real. More than 160 countries agreed to reduce the amount of CFCs released into the atmosphere. Deadlines have been set for their complete elimination. In the meantime, there has been a new hypothesis regarding the effect of global warming on ozone depletion, and new experiments will have to be conducted. It will be many years before the ozone layer once again fully protects Earth from UV-B radiation. Had it not been for the curiosity of scientists like Rowland and Molina and their painstaking approach to the scientific testing, it might not have been discovered until it was too late. 3. Why were nearly 1 billion kilograms of dangerous CFCs being manufactured in 1970? The Nature of Science 27
