OF GENERAL INTEREST: OZONE DEPLETION

Item #d95apr13

"The Complex Chemistry of the International Ozone Agreements," E.A. Parson (JFK Sch. Govt., Harvard Univ., Cambridge MA 02138), O. Greene, Environment, 37(2), 16-20, 35-43, Mar. 1995.

Agreements for protecting the stratospheric ozone layer have been fairly successful so far, but it may be more difficult to maintain compliance as the restrictions become tighter. Developing countries in particular will require substantial financial assistance to meet their obligations. Includes a chronology and summary of international agreements.

Item #d95apr14

"The Ideas of Secondary School Children Concerning Ozone Layer Damage," E. Boyes (Environ. Educ., 126 Mt. Pleasant, Univ. Liverpool, Liverpool L69 3BX, UK), M. Stanisstreet, Global Environ. Change, 4(4), 311-324, Dec. 1994.

Used questionnaires and interviews to study the understanding of pupils between the ages of 11 and 16. Most seem aware of the elements of the problem, but many confuse it with the greenhouse effect and other forms of atmospheric pollution. Evidence suggests that such confusion of ideas is strongly held and that, even with this relatively new and abstract phenomenon, ideas are held in a consistent and similar framework by most pupils.
