Ozone and upper atmosphere issues
« on: June 19, 2024, 08:57:57 PM »
Ozone issues have been mentioned in other threads.
I'm not finding a thread for it by itself
so I thought to start one.

Aluminum oxides spark chemical reactions that destroy stratospheric ozone, which protects Earth from harmful UV radiation. The oxides don’t react chemically with ozone molecules, instead triggering destructive reactions between ozone and chlorine that deplete the ozone layer. Because aluminum oxides are not consumed by these chemical reactions, they can continue to destroy molecule after molecule of ozone for decades as they drift down through the stratosphere.
