	Ozone depletion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Prior to the beginning of the depletion trend, the amount of ozone in the stratosphere was kept even by a stable balance in the amount of creation and destruction of ozone molecules by UV light.
		The role of sunlight in ozone depletion is the reason why the Antarctic ozone depletion is greatest during spring; during winter, even though PSCs are at their most abundant, there is no light over the pole to drive the chemical reactions.
		Any measures against ozone depletion which have a negative economic impact will remain a controversial issue due to the strong economic interests involved, with key questions regarding whether the scientific understanding is strong enough to warrant the proposed countermeasures.

		Your depletable natural gas quantity is 6,000 cubic feet multiplied by the number of barrels of your depletable oil quantity that you choose to apply.
		For purposes of percentage depletion, gross income from the property (in the case of oil and gas wells) is the amount you receive from the sale of the oil or gas in the immediate vicinity of the well.
		To figure cost depletion on a bonus, multiply your adjusted basis in the property by a fraction, the numerator of which is the bonus and the denominator of which is the total bonus and royalties expected to be received.

	Ozone Depletion FAQ Part III: The Antarctic Ozone Hole
		From: rparson@spot.colorado.edu (Robert Parson) Newsgroups: sci.environment Subject: Ozone Depletion FAQ Part III: The Antarctic Ozone Hole Date: 24 Dec 1997 20:50:47 GMT Message-ID: <67rsj7$2un@peabody.colorado.edu> Reply-To: rparson@spot.colorado.edu Summary: This is the third of four files dealing with stratospheric ozone depletion.
		Depletion of the ozone layer therefore cools the stratosphere, and in this sense the hole is self-stabilizing.
		Large ozone depletions, ~10-20%, were reported for high latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere; these still do not qualify as an "ozone hole" but they do seem to indicate that the same physics and chemistry are operating, albeit with much less efficiency.

	[Ganoksin] Jewelry Making - Some Notes on Depletion Gilding
		Depletion gilding usually hinges on the conversion of the base metals near the surface of the gold alloy to chlorides (salts) or oxides using chemical attack and/or heat.
		The purpose of depletion gilding can be stated quite simply: goldsmiths find it necessary to remove alloy additions from gold alloys in order to obtain pure gold with which to work or to change the color of alloy surfaces for aesthetic or economic reasons.
		Depletion gilding offers the opportunity to enrich the gold content at the surface of the object or to preferentially attack one of the alloy constituents thus tilting the surface color to the tones given by the remaining alloy addition.

	Consequences (vol. 1, No. 2) - Impacts of a Projected Depletion of the Ozone Layer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Something the atmospheric models had not forecast was the dramatic, early springtime depletion of stratospheric ozone over the South Pole of the Earth, later termed the "ozone hole," that was discovered almost through accident in routine measurements taken in Antarctica.
		Further measurements established that the phenomenon was the result of increased amounts of chlorine in the stratosphere in its most reactive form, intensified by the unique circulation of air near the Earth's poles and the presence of ice crystals in the peculiar stratospheric polar clouds.
		The UNEP Panel on Environmental Effects of Ozone Depletion concludes in its 1994 report that present reality is far from the goal of defining impacts, and that funding of research on UVB effects is still very low and does not even allow full utilization of the existing research capacity.

	biology - Oxygen depletion
		Oxygen depletion is a phenomenon that occurs in aquatic environments as dissolved oxygen (DO; molecular oxygen dissolved in the water) becomes reduced in concentration to a point detrimental to aquatic organisms living in the system.
		Dissolved oxygen is typically expressed as a percentage of the oxygen that would dissolve in the water at the prevailing temperature and salinity (both of which affect the solubility of oxygen in water; see oxygen saturation and underwater).
		Oxygen depletion could be the result of a number of factors including natural ones, but is of most concern as a consequence of pollution and as a highly detrimental outcome of a process known as eutrophication.

		Stratospheric ozone levels fluctuate naturally based on wind dynamics and interactions with trace chemicals, but Rowland and Molina's insight was that the additional chlorine introduced by CFCs would gobble up extra ozone molecules, wreaking havoc to the ozone layer and exposing the earth and its inhabitants to great risk.
		The depletion above the South Pole was so severe, the British geophysicist who first measured it assumed his spectrophotometer must be broken and sent the device back to England to be repaired.
