This document discusses the ozone layer and the causes and effects of its depletion. It identifies the main causes of ozone layer depletion as chlorofluorocarbons, unregulated rocket launches, and nitrogenous compounds. It also outlines the harmful effects of ozone layer depletion on human health, animals, the environment, and marine life. Finally, it provides some solutions to prevent further ozone layer depletion such as avoiding ozone depleting substances, minimizing vehicle use, and using eco-friendly products.
