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.
