Because a chlorine atom is generated for each ozone molecule that is destroyed (reactions 2 and 3 can proceed repeatedly), a single chlorofluorocarbon molecule can be responsible for the destruction of many ozone molecules. Scientists have discovered an annual thinning in the ozone layer over Antarctica. This is what we call the hole in the ozone layer. If this hole were to occur over populated regions of the world, severe effects would result, including a rise in the cancer rate, increased climatic temperatures, and vision problems (which have been observed in the penguins of Antarctica). See Figure 12.17.

Kramer, Peter, R. Listening to Prozac The Landmark Book about Antidepressants and the Remaking of the Self. New York Penguin, 1997. Explores early views of the clinical effectiveness of Prozac and other medications in its class, which have become among the most prescribed medications in the United States and the world. The author, a psychiatrist, argues that such drugs not only are effective in the treatment of depression and anxiety but also can transform people s personalities, making them more confident and less shy. 

Birds regularly pluck and preen oiled feathers. This inevitably leads to the ingestion of oil, but may also accelerate heat loss and reduce buoyancy. Thus, species that inhabit the colder limits of their range are particularly susceptible to hypothermia and starvation induced by oil contamination (Levy, 1980). Apparently, the same effects can be induced by vegetable oil spills (McKelvey etaL 1980). Randall etaL (1980) reported that the cleaning of penguins Spheniscus demersus resulted in a 32% mortality rate but, of those released, 87% molted and reproduced normally.
