Aerosols

Aerosols are substances packaged under pressure with a gaseous propellant for release as a spray of fine particles.
Aerosols in the ozone layer come from products like hairspray, cans of paint, and other things like air conditioners.  Dust and sea salt are mainly the only two natural aerosols and they are the most abundant in the atmosphere, leaving man made aerosols with a smaller percentage in the atmosphere.  

Aerosols affect climate and weather because it does chemical changes in the atmosphere.  The particles mixed in with the ozone particles get hot from the sun and harmful rays, causing the aerosol particles to burn the ozone.  The burning of the ozone lead to a warmer climate because of allowing more UVB rays into the Earth’s atmosphere.  Aerosols is a leading factor to the harm of humans.  Aerosols is of the leading causes for the depletion of the ozone. 

Why Surface Ozone Should Be Studied

Surface Ozone Stuff

Surface Ozone affects every human, animal, and living organism on Earth. Ozone is very important. No oganism could survive on Earth without the ozone; there would be no oxygen and the huge amounts of UVB rays. Surface Ozone can threaten and enable life on Earth.
Without ozone, life on Earth would not be the way it is now. The man-made ozone that forms in the atmosphere is extremely toxic and corrosive.

The Ozone is a layer of different chemicals and oxygen in the stratosphere.

Surface Ozone affects health.
Surface Ozone can affect the way you breath and your respiratory region as a whole; it can make you cough, or have an itchy/uncomfortable throat.


Paints, cleaning supplies, photo copiers, and permanent markers contain VOCs. That is a big part that contributes harm to the atmosphere.

The ozone layer is made out of various gasses, most of which is created of various types of oxygen.  O₂ and O₃ are a large part to the ozone.  VOCs are also included.
Factors to protect the ozone are quite easy. The cut down of Fossil Fuels (like gasoline) and aerosols (like cans of hair spray) can save the deterioration of the ozone layer.

 

Group project evaluation

I thought working in groups was okay, but I much rather do independent work.
I feel like I did most of the work, and I think our group needed more communication.

3 things that went well

• We got the work done
• We all got along
• We worked together somewhat

3 things that could be improved

• more communication between group members
• equal work distributed among each person
• working together more
