This work is presenteci with the intention of both inforrning and provoking action. It has been researehed as thoroughly as limited time, resources, and availability of information allow. Ozone occurs nattirally and is distributed throughout the stratosphere froni about 10 - St) km aboye the Earth's surface. Its concntration is low and it would compless to a layer of a mere 15 mm at ground ICVCi. It is being continuaPy created and destroyed in compiex chemical reactions which are not really relevant tú the foliowing discus-
sion. There are natural cyclical variations in ozone leveis but overail a fairly 'steady state" is mainfained and the biosphere has evolvrd tinder this protective "layer".
