Shri Aditya Kumar had told that human activities cause the emission of halogen gases that contain chlorine and bromine atoms. These emissions into the atmosphere ultimately lead to stratospheric ozone depletion. The source gases that contain only carbon, chlorine, and fluorine are called "chlorofluorocarbons," usually abbreviated as CFCs. Dr Pathak had told that the ozone layer or ozone shield is a region of Earth's stratosphere that absorbs most of the Sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation. It contains high concentrations of ozone (O3) in relation to other parts of the atmosphere, although still small in relation to other gases in the stratosphere.

Shri Arvind Kumar had told that plantation of trees is the simple way to preserve our Ozone layer and we all should plant minimum one tree.
