Ozone layer

ओज़ोन परत

In Class 10 Science, under the chapter “Our Environment,” students learn how the ozone layer in the stratosphere absorbs much of the Sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation and protects living organisms. The topic explains how chemicals such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) contribute to ozone depletion, along with its effects on human health, plants, animals, and ecosystems. It also highlights responsible choices and international efforts to protect this important part of Earth’s atmosphere.
