Agreement reached by the majority of the governments of the world, meeting in Canada in 1987 and in force since 1989. It was the continuation of the Vienna Treaty dealing with the destruction of the ozone layer and the limiting of CFC production. Some third world countries refused to sign the 1990 London agreement in which the industrialized countries agreed to transfer adequate technology to substitute CFC's with less harmful substances to developing countries. 3, record 1, English, - Montreal%20Protocol%20on%20Substances%20that%20Deplete%20the%20Ozone%20Layer

Accord de la plus grande partie des gouvernements du monde signé au Canada en 1987 et en vigueur depuis 1989. Suite de la Convention de Vienne qui analyse le problème de la destruction de la couche d'ozone et la limitation des CFC. Certains pays en développement ont réfusé de signer l'accord proposé en 1990 lors de la conférence de Londres au cours de laquelle les pays industrialisés ont accepté de leur fournir la technologie adéquate pour remplacer les CFC par des substances moins nocives. 3, record 1, French, - Protocole%20de%20Montr%C3%A9al%20relatif%20%C3%A0%20des%20substances%20qui%20appauvrissent%20la%20couche%20d%27ozone

La disminución de la capa de ozono es causada entre otros factores, por las actividades humanas a través de las emisiones a la atmosfera de sustancias que contienen cloro y bromo, capaces de destruir las moléculas de ozono. La mayor parte de estos gases se acumulan primeramente en la troposfera, estos no reaccionan, ni se disuelven con facilidad en la lluvia o la nieve, luego son desplazados y ascienden a la estratosfera donde se convierten en gases reactivos que participan en las reacciones que destruyen las moléculas de ozono. 2, record 2, Spanish, - agotamiento%20de%20la%20capa%20de%20ozono

The distribution of various physicochemical processes is another criterion [used for denoting the various shells of the atmosphere]. The ozonosphere, lying roughly between 10 and 50 kilometers, is the general region of the upper atmosphere in which there is an appreciable ozone concentration and in which ozone plays an important part in the radiative balance of the atmosphere; the ionosphere, starting at about 70 or 80 kilometers, is the region in which ionization of one or more of the atmospheric constituents is significant; the neutrosphere is the shell below this which is, by contrast, relatively unionized; and the chemosphere, with no very definite height limits, is the region in which photochemical reactions take place. 5, record 3, English, - ozonosphere

... the atmosphere consists of several layers. The layers differ in such physical properties as pressure and the types of gasses. The layer of the atmosphere closest to Earth is called the TROPOSPHERE. ... The layer above the troposphere is called the STRATOSPHERE. The OZONE LAYER is the part of the stratosphere where absorption of ultraviolet rays occurs. The layer above the stratosphere is called the MESOSPHERE. The THERMOSPHERE lies above the mesosphere. The ionized gases form a layer within the thermosphere called the IONOSPHERE. The outermost part of Earth's atmosphere extends from about 480 km out to 960 km. This part is called the EXOSPHERE. 6, record 3, English, - ozonosphere

Pour plusieurs auteurs, l'ozonosphère devrait se résumer à la zone, située à vingt ou vingt-cinq kilomètres d'altitude, qui présente une concentration maximale d'ozone. Certains auteurs étendent cependant les limites de l'ozonosphère à dix et quarante kilomètres car la concentration y est relativement plus élevée que dans le reste de l'atmosphère. Quelques auteurs considèrent que le terme ozonosphère est synonyme de stratosphère (entre dix et cinquante kilomètres). Finalement, dans son sens le plus étendu, l'ozonosphère, comme l'expression bouclier d'ozone, peuvent désigner la totalité de l'ozone qui forme un large dôme au-dessus de la Terre et qui la protège des rayons solaires ultraviolets. 3, record 3, French, - ozonosph%C3%A8re
