Abstract

First of all, we have to know that the ozone layer exists in different levels of the Earth's atmosphere. After follow-up, it was found that the equivalent of 80% of the ozone is found at altitudes between 16 and 35 kilometres above the earth's surface. At this level it provides a good sunscreen shield, and we believe that is a good ozone. It is also present at ground level in low concentrations (tropospheric ozone). It is believed that the ozone at this stage is the polluting part and that the smog over the cities is the main part of it and it can be called (bad ozone). Through this thing, we must realize that the international community has not remained silent about air violations and took a number of measures to restore the ozone layer, most notably the Montreal Protocol in 1987. Here it was necessary for all countries of the world to develop solutions that work to gradually get rid of this time bomb by uniting on one decision, It is to stop the production or import of all materials that have a role in the depletion of the ozone because they have a direct impact on the depletion of the stratosphere. This paper seeks to serve two functions. First: it gives fundamental information about the Stratospheric ozone depletion process, with the goal of utilizing current worldwide knowledge on Measures to minimize the use of ozone-depleting compounds existing alternatives and current advances. As a result a supportive framework for Iraq to control its internal problem has been established. Second: an overview of the state of ozone-depleting compounds in Iraq including the industries that use them the difficulties in restricting their use, and the awareness and measures made to reduce their use in Iraq. We believe that this paper will give policymakers with the information they need to solve this issue, such as by giving alternatives and enumerating the roles of environmental protection agencies, user businesses, and the government itself in reducing the use of these compounds. We are convinced that our efforts will assist the general population who is concerned about the ozone layer's degradation.
