World Ozone Day Quiz 2024: September 16 was declared International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer by the United Nations General Assembly in 1994. In 1987, 46 nations around the world signed the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. It was also known as the “Montreal Protocol”. The theme of this year’s World Ozone Day will be out soon. In the 2023 the theme was Montreal Protocol: fixing the ozone layer and reducing climate change. Not only does the theme support sustainable development, but it also recognizes that the Montreal Protocol has a much broader impact. To check your knowledge on International Ozone Day let’s attempt the Quiz on Ozone Day 2023.

Over the past century, CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) have caused global temperatures to rise by 3 degrees Celsius. In refrigerators, what is the CFC used?
- Carbon dioxide
- Methane
- Ammonia
- Freon
Which of the following are ozone depleting substances?

What is global warming potential (GWP)?
- The effectiveness of an air conditioning system. The higher the global warming potential, the better the system at heating a room but the worse at cooling a room.

- Greenhouse gases are found in greenhouses, synthetic greenhouse gases are not.
- Greenhouse gases occur naturally and through human activity, synthetic greenhouse gases only occur through human activity.
- Synthetic greenhouse gases all contain silicon, other greenhouse gases do not.
- None of These
