Ozone help?

Question

does the ozone fall under anthropogenic or natural component of the atmosphere?

please show sources thanks

Answer 1

Ozone is a natural component, and a very important one of the atmosphere.

Its destruction it provably anthropogenic.  Chlorofluorocarbons were widely used in many industrial processes and in many products, especially as refrigerant fluids (it has a high capacity to pick up heat and radiate it out).   Laboratory tests proved the possibility of CFC destruction of  ozone.  International agreements to reduce the use and release of CFC is considered one of the more successful attempt to undo human-caused damage to the general environment.  The ozone holes still grow and shrink by means not well understood but everyone interested in the problem believes that getting rid of the CFC's in the air has been a major cause for the ozone hole shrinkage.

Answer 2

The topic of global warming inspires heated debates among world leaders, industry representatives, and environmentalists. While there is a strong consensus in the scientific community that the greenhouse effect is a real phenomenon, and that humans are adding to concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, much remains unknown about the long-term consequences of anthropogenic activity on the climate.

Greenhouse gases--water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, chlorofluorocarbons1, and ozone--trap heat in the atmosphere instead of allowing it to radiate back into space, the way glass traps heat in a greenhouse. Except for chlorofluorocarbons, greenhouse gases are natural components of the atmosphere, and the greenhouse effect itself is a natural phenomenon. Without it, the earth would be about 60 degrees cooler than it is today, and life as we know it would be impossible.
