Summary on ozone hole (Continued) • The most important difference between the Antarctic and the Arctic stratosphere is the extent of denitrification that occurs. • Because of generally warmer temperatures in the Arctic, PSCs tend not persist until the onset of sunlight, releasing their nitric acid back into the vapor phase. • As a result, ozone depletion is generally less dramatic in the Arctic than the Antarctic.
<strong>Ozone</strong> depletion potential (ODP) • ODP is used to facilitate comparison of harmfulness to the ozone layer by different chemicals. • ODP of a compound is defined as the total steadyozone destruction that results from per unit mass of species i emitted per year relative to that for a unit mass emission of CFC-11 ODP i O O 3 3 i CFC 11
