Ozone-depleting chemicals threaten global climate, human health
This chapter talks about how certain chemicals like CFCs and halons are causing ozone depletion, and how the oceans play a role in climate change. It also discusses common air pollutants that can harm human health. Ozone-depleting substances were produced a lot in the 1970s, and international agreements have been made to control them. The impact of choppy seas, phytoplankton, and ocean circulation on climate change is still being studied. Air pollutants that don't build up in the environment can affect our lungs.
