At this time of the year
when the monsoon is all set and humidity has conquered over the major parts of
the globe, the viruses and bacteria are having the time of their lives while we
humans are just either combating it with antibiotics or waiting for the time to
pass. The cycle of the environment had always been the same summer, monsoon,
autumn,winter, spring. but if you observe over the century how drastically the
intensity has changed now that overwhelming! and for sure we get affected by it
most of all. If we have a look in our past the seasonal changes were there but
they were not harsh like it is now. if we see all the romantic movies or songs
of olden times showed how the hero and heroin are dancing through it and
everything is happy go lucky but now it had replaced with acid rain so even to
give the old school touch directors and actors prefer artificial rain.
So why is the
environment so rude to us now definitely there is some problem somewhere. The
only way to know is observing environment itself. So when we made a check on
composition of environment we came to know that it’s made of greenhouse gases
in adequate proportions, by volume, dry air
contains 78.09% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.039% CO2,
and small amounts of other gases and the atmosphere. The atmosphere is the
jacket that surrounds Earth. It protects Earth from UV rays from sun but it has
also been altered. The proportion of gases has been changed and this alteration
had affected in increase in amount of greenhouse gases while decrease in levels
of ozone. So as the ozone layer is thinning the UV rays have an open
pass to the Earth thus increasing its temperature.
What’s
causing it to lose its proportion? When you look into the composition of ozone it’s
made of 3 atoms of oxygen O3. When there is increase in amount of CFC's,
smoke from burning of fossil fuel or from vehicles, increase in levels of greenhouse
gases for instance in carbon dioxide or methane the oxygen of ozone reacts with
the molecule of carbon and like converting into various other products. Resulting
in thin layer of our protector THE OZONE. According to a geologist in Antarctica
theirs a hole in ozone.
This
current situation can be still corrected if only we look after our own
activities as it is said that a little drop of water makes a mighty ocean,
otherwise the scientist are already in search of new planet.
