Question:
Ozone is a toxic gas and is a strong oxidizing agent even then its presence in the stratosphere is very important. Explain what would happen if ozone from this region is completely removed?
Solution:
If ozone is removed the ultraviolet radiation comes directly in contact with living things and cause damages such as skin cancers and many other serious diseases. Ozone in the stratosphere absorbs this UV radiation from the sun and does not allow to pass it to the inner atmosphere.
