Chapter 8, Problem 9QRT

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Gaseous water and carbon dioxide whether absorb ultraviolet radiation should be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Chemical species involved in ozone layer depletion and climate change is given below,

	Ozone depletion	Climate change
Chemical species involved	$O_3$ and CFCs	$C{O}_2,N_{2}O,C{H}_4\mathrm{...}$
The type of radiation involved	Ultraviolet radiation breaks covalent bond in CFC which leading to ozone depletion	IR radiation absorbed by the greenhouse gases causing the enhanced greenhouse effects.
The predicted environmental issues.	UV exposure at the Earth’s surface increases Skin cancer	Rising sea level Loss of biodiversity Ocean acidification
