Ozone is created naturally when regular oxygen molecules, O2, come in contact with ultraviolet rays emitted from the sun.

The higher energy ultraviolet photons, which can be absorbed by O2 molecules in the stratosphere, break that oxygen - oxygen bond and the freed oxygen can combine with O2 to make ozone (O3).

Also, the overall number of ozone molecules destroyed in a vertical column of air was pretty much the same as the number of molecules transported into this column by the average poleward and downward transport of air in the stratosphere.

Industry balked at the aggressive schedule to fully eliminate manufacture of the molecules blamed for eating away the ozone layer shielding inhabitants of our planet, especially in the southern hemisphere, from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from our Sun.

Changes in ozone layer concern mainly the stratosphere and I used to think there are very few molecules (even atoms, in fact) upward.

So there was alarm in the 1970s when researchers first warned that extremely stable man - made compounds such as CFCs, used in refrigerants and aerosols, were floating up into the stratosphere, where they released chlorine and bromine atoms that break down ozone molecules.

Figure 2: Total column ozone loss relative to pre-ozone hole conditions in the 1970s in percent (left) and total number of molecules (right)(1 DU = 2.69 molecules / cm2) averaged over 2010 - 2019, during September for the Southern Hemisphere and March for the Northern Hemisphere.

Once water vapor gets into the normally dry stratosphere, it can in theory interact with manmade chlorine compounds known as chlorofluorocarbons, or CFC's, to destroy ozone molecules.

That mean a policy enacted 22 years ago called the Montreal Protocol is working: The 1989 ban on the use of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)-- toxic chemicals used in air conditioners and solvents that eat away at ozone molecules — has helped the Earth to regain some of its lost protective ozone.

As many of you will know, and perhaps recall from living memory, alarm bells started ringing when pioneering research by a group of brilliant chemists (Frank Sherwood Rowland, Mario Molina and Paul Crutzen, who were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1995) showed that chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), a family of chemicals used in many everyday applications such as refrigeration, air conditioning and aerosols, were destroying the ozone molecules which make up the protective layer shielding Earth from the sun's harmful rays.

CFCs are incredibly stable molecules that must travel high into the stratosphere before breaking down, so though the phasing out of CFCs is working, the impact of the Montreal Protocol won't be noticeable in the ozone layer until about 2025, Kramarova said.

Lovelock was also one of the first people to discover a link between CFCs and the depletion in the ozone layer through the invention of the electron capture detector, a device that detects atoms and molecules in gas.

Ozone is one of the criteria air pollutants and is a form of oxygen, the molecule contains three oxygen atoms and has the same chemical structure whether it is found high in the atmosphere or at ground - level.

However, my main point was not so much about the «make up» of ozone but more about the possibility that as long as oxygen atoms and molecules absorb enough energy from UV radiation to alter their structure it may be that they also produce an increase in their heat content, which should be greater at any points nearest to the source — i.e..
