10 Ozoneis a chemical that is made up of three particles of oxygen. Ozoneforms a thick blanket above the clouds in the stratosphere. This layerof ozone protects Earth from overexposure to ultraviolet radiationfrom the Sun. You are probably familiar with the damage that expo-sure to ultraviolet radiation can do to your skin in the form ofsunburn. Ultraviolet radiation can also harm other animals andplants. In the 1980s, scientists documented that the ozone layeraround Earth was becoming measurably thinner in some the 1970s, scientists had observed that large quantities ofchlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) had accumulated in Earth s are chemicals that contain chlorine, fluorine, and were used as coolants in refrigerators and air conditioners andas propellants in spray cans because they were considered relativelynonreactive.
