The United Nations General Assembly has designated 16 September as the International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer.

Ozone, a gas naturally present in the atmosphere, is found in two regions - about 10% of the atmospheric ozone is in the troposphere and about 90% resides in the stratosphere. In the stratosphere, oxygen that is broken down by ultraviolet radiation from the sun recombines to form ozone.

Abstract


The United Nations General Assembly has designated 16 September as the International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer.

Ozone, a gas naturally present in the atmosphere, is found in two regions - about 10% of the atmospheric ozone is in the troposphere and about 90% resides in the stratosphere. In the stratosphere, oxygen that is broken down by ultraviolet radiation from the sun recombines to form ozone.
