UPCOMING EVENTS
WORLD OZONE DAY – September 16th
To make people aware of the importance of Ozone in the atmosphere September 16 declared by the United National General Assembly as the International Day for the preservation of the Ozone layer. The theme of this year is ‘Ozone for life’ which messages human beings to preserve ozone layer for future generations. This day is the commemoration day to signing in 1987 of the Montreal Protocol of the substances the deplete of the ozone layer.
What is Ozone layer ?
- Ozone is a natural gas composed of three atoms of oxygen occurring naturally in the atmosphere.
- This is found between 20-30 kilometer above the surface of the earth.
- Ozone layer acts like a blanket as a natural filter absorbing the sun’s ultraviolet rays and protecting the living beings.
- Dobson is the international unit to measure the thickness of Ozone layer. According to environment specialists it’s average thickness mandatory 300 db but in present it exists 220 db.
Depletion in Ozone layer……Major concern ?
Depletion in Ozone layer became a matter of concern in the late 1970’s. This layer is concern for the scientists for past few decades. Scientists have found a hole in the Ozone layer over Antarctica.The depletion of Ozone layer and Ozone hole has created a deep concern worldwide with increase in cancer risks and other harmful effects n humans and the environment. Ozone depletion is the gradual thinning of the ozone layer meaning less protection from the sun’s UV rays, which is caused by the releases of gases like chlorine, bromine, CFC, solvents etc. CFC mostly uses in industries, especially these are used in refrigerators and home insulations.
Causes and effects of the ozone depletion:
- There are several effects of ozone depletion.It affects human health as causes of skin cancer, asthama, and human immune system too. In recent study also found that Eye’s Corina and Lense also disturbs by UV rays.
- .In the marine system, damage has been seen in development stages of fishes and also harms the reproduction system.
- Plants photosynthesis reaction and biological decomposers which play role to clean environment, also affected by sun’s UV rays.
Insights
January 2021 BIMCO introduced the in-water hull cleaning with capture standard. An important step towards less emissions, cleaner oceans and diver safety
The answers to the question, “How might the roughness of biofouling and fouling-control coatings be related to full-scale ship resistance and powering?” is here discussed thoroughly. The state-of-the-art and novel experimental and numerical methods are presented, along with the future directions in research on the issue.
