What is a Ozone?
It is a gas in the atmosphere. Ozone protects the earth by absorbing harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun. However, the ozone layer is thinning due to substances such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) produced by human activities. Ozone depletion causes more of the sun's rays to reach the Earth's surface, which can lead to cancer and other health problems.
